What are the four elements of a source's context?
Origin (who made it), purpose (why), time, and place.
How does 'content' differ from 'perspective'?
Content is what a source says; perspective is the standpoint or viewpoint behind what it says.
Example: why might a 1968 NOW pamphlet demanding equal pay be useful content for Q1?
It gives a specific, named grievance (unequal pay) and shows the movement's strategy was legal change, not just awareness.
Example: why does a Tunisian state broadcast from January 2011 need care as a source?
Its purpose (reassuring the public during unrest) means it likely understates how serious the protests were.
Process: what three steps make a strong Q1 answer?
Find specific details, link each detail to the inquiry question, and use both Source A and Source B.
What turns a context description into context analysis?
Explaining what the origin/purpose/time MEANS for how useful or limited the source is, not just naming them.
