China Revision

Source Question first: SOURCE, OWN KNOWLEDGE, PROVENENCE [NATURE, ORIGIN AND PURPOSE, AUDEIENCE]

- Two sources, two highlights
- Each source on its own
- Third on its own
- Cross reference

[SOSOP+STOP-] x 2

- always provide an inference from Source quote
- Own knowledge = 2/3 facts, specific fact date, name, statistic
- 15 minutes for each paragraph
- P + positives of the province = are they an expert?, or an official role in some way, date [around the time of
the issue in the question]
- Tone = quote [mood of the source, negative] = derogatory, cynical, sarcastic, optimistic, sympathetic
- Own knowledge, is it true? Does it sound correct? Is it exaggerated? Is it just happening in one area? [DON’T
TALK ABOUT THINGS IT DOES NOT MENTION]
- P- [PAY ATTENTION TO THIS = 3 or 4 lines of writing] = PURPOSE OF THE SOURCE propaganda and who is the
audience intended [propaganda, hindsight offloading bitterness] LINK TONE TO PURPOSE + Date may show
the purpose [Mao’s death = celebrate Mao’s successors, before Mao’s death = censored, 1972 Nixon is
visiting, post Mao = bitter, detached from the carnage of 45 million deaths in 1972]

Third paragraph, at least half a page

- 4/5 points together
- Date
- Place, location [Rural, Urban, Gov vs People]
- Attitudes
- Different viewpoints/ atmosphere
