6. Write an essay that takes a position regarding the accuracy and reliability of the primary source you reviewed. Begin your essay with a statement of your position. For example: • “[The source] offers a biased perspective about the Salem witch hysteria, because the author stood to gain from an accusation of witchcraft.”
• “[The source] presents an objective perspective about the events in Salem, because the author’s intention was to genuinely understand their causes.”
• “[The source] provides a mixed perspective, because it includes the courtroom accounts of both accusers and the accused.”
Fully explain the position you take and defend it using specific examples from the source.
