Historical Source Analysis

In this worksheet, students read two contrasting historical sources describing rural life in early 1900s Ukraine and modern urban life. After analyzing both excerpts, students answer ten open-ended questions using complete, well-supported sentences. The activity asks students to compare daily routines, economic activities, education access, traditions, and how life in Ukraine has changed over time. By evaluating similarities and differences between the two sources, learners develop historical thinking skills and improve their ability to cite evidence in written responses.
