Reflect & Discuss
What does it mean to read a political book "as a primary source"? Identify the book's rhetorical stance — who is "you," who is "we," what assumptions does it make about its reader? Begin assembling a list of the book's core empirical claims that will need independent verification throughout the course. Start your Claim Log — a running list of the book’s key claims and what you find when you check them.
