These short prompts can be read live or recorded locally after checking pronunciation and pace. They are text scripts, not claims that audio files exist. Keep the words visible and pause after each question; never make listening the only access route. Each is a teacher-created prompt, not a historical quotation.
| Day | Read aloud before source work |
|---|---|
| 1 | “A source gives us a window, not the whole street. What did this group actually say, and what would we need to ask someone else?” |
| 2 | “A public declaration and a private letter were made for different readers. Which one helps with your exact question?” |
| 3 | “A statement about equality is evidence of an idea. To know how people lived, we need more voices and records.” |
| 4 | “Four dates, four different events. Say whether each marks a declaration, adoption, ratification or recognition.” |
| 5 | “Read the new petition as a request. Tell me what it proves about its makers, then tell me what it cannot prove.” |
| 6 | “The word ‘state’ here names a government. Does this clause also tell us each person's rights? Show your reason.” |
| 7 | “The treaty records what governments agreed. Compare that with what Congress had said earlier.” |
| 8 | “A modern historian can ask sharp questions. We still need to distinguish that later account from an eyewitness source.” |
| 9 | “Make one narrow argument with dated evidence. Then show the strongest limit or missing voice.” |
| 10 | “Two new sources. Keep the petitioners' own request separate from the later account of one young person.” |
Teacher pause: ask “Which words are from the old document?” before repeating any phrase. The quoted source excerpts are identified in the source cards and checks; this script contains only new prose.
