Analyze the primary source documents and categorize the evidence using the interactive scale. Evaluate the strength of each piece of evidence in how they support either thesis statement, then align them appropriately on the scale.

Each correct placement of evidence on the scale earns 10 points, up to a total of 90 points. Your final score will reveal which badge you have earned for the assignment.

0-40 points = Evidence Explorer

50-70 points = Historical Analyst

80-90 points = Certified Historian
