Santa Monica College Images as Historical Evidence Discussion
Question Description
I`trying to learn for my History class and I`stuck. Can you help?
Men of the 16th Infantry Regiment, US 1st Infantry Division wading ashore on Omaha Beach on the morning of 6 June 1944
1. Presentation: Post a copy of your visual evidence — a cartoon, photo, painting, etc. — directly at the top of your answers, in the same post, so that others can examine it. (that is, upload the image to this forum)
2. Identification: Name your visual evidence and provide the year in which it was made. Also, provide its maker, if known. Finding and providing this information is called “sourcing the document.” All historians start here.
3. Description: Describe your piece of visual evidence in no less than 250 words. Slow down and actually see the image in all its detail. Seeing is a skill. Be careless of nothing and dissect the image so that another, unable to view the image, might form a clear and memorable mental image of it. Be the historian.
4. Analysis: Now provide the historical context for your visual evidence by drawing on the assigned reading. 1. What does that context tell us about this image? 2. What does the image tell us about the time in which it was created? That is, why is your image historically significant? Be specific and do the image justice. (ANSWER CAN BE FOUND IN CHAP 27.3 https://openstax.org/books/us-history/pages/27-3-v… )
5. No image is an island. What larger themes does this image link to and illustrate? To answer this question, be sure to go here first.
6. Why This Image: Why did you choose this particular image? Tell us your own story here.
