Honors American History The Primary Sources for each chapter are located on the disk in the front cover of the text. At the end of each document is a series of questions that must be answered in complete sentences. Answers must include evidence/support from the document and text. Be sure to keep each of these documents in your binder because some questions for later document(s) will require you to refer back to a previous document(s) for comparison. I will occasionally change the documents required. These will be handed out in place of those listed below.
