THE BUSINESS OF DOING BUSINESS WORKSHEET– SOURCE #1
Fill out one for each source, so you’ll need three worksheets, combined as one file.
See the assignment guidelines on Canvas before diving into this worksheet. Spend 20 to
30 minutes on each source, including viewing the source and writing responses to the
questions. (Time allocation is an estimate. As stated in the assignment guidelines, no
more than 2 sources can be videos. If you pick two full-length films, the assignment is
going to take a little longer, but you may find it more engaging. It’s a trade-off and totally
up to you.) Read the questions before you analyze the source so that you will know what
to look for. You will write a separate analysis for each source. Feel free to use this
document and write the answers after each question. ALWAYS USE YOUR OWN
WORDS – not a summary that you can find online.
1. Cite the source, using the Chicago style.
2. Introduce the basic information on the source: type of source (article, exhibit, museum,
film?), title of the source, authors/creators, and date of publication/release.
3. How would you sum up the most important information this source is saying about the
history of business in one to three sentences? (This is a difficult task. Even if you don’t
feel like you have captured it perfectly, trying to answer this question will advance your
understanding of the source.)
4. Does this source pose an argument related to the history of business? In other words,
does it seem to take a stand at all? What is that argument? Explain. If it doesn’t seem to
pose an argument, why does it seem that way? Is it objective? Explain.
5. If the source does pose an argument, does it seem like a good one to you? (Does it
hold up? Does it seem valid?) How is the big argument structured into little arguments?
And are these little arguments constructed well?
6. List at least FIVE examples of specific evidence offered in this source related to the
history of business. (An actual list of bullet points is fine here.)
7. Are there any broad assumptions made in this source? (An example of an assumption
might be that a certain type of business is worthwhile or good for the US economy.)
8. How did the author/creator get this information? What sources did the author or creator
rely on to create this source? (Examine the source and investigate a little here. For
example, does the source link to other websites for other organizations? If it’s a film,
who was consulted or who produced it?)
9. What questions did you have after viewing this source? What other information might
you want to get a fuller picture of this topic?

DISCUSSION
This discussion is part of the Connection Project for those of you who chose the
Business of Doing Business option. You still need to submit your worksheets. It looks like
this discussion board is worth zero points, but it’s actually worth five points. I will be
adding this to your score for the overall Connection Project.
POST 1: Introduce the topic you chose to focus on for your online searching. Give short
summaries of the sources you analyzed. In the summaries, include (a) an introduction to
the source, (b) a couple of specific things you learned, and (c) your opinion how the
source would improve the viewer’s understanding of historical events (and in what
ways). (Note: These are essentially your answers to question 3 and 6 in the Business of
Doing Business Worksheet, although you don’t need to include all of the specific
examples in this post that you had on the worksheet).
Finally, what was the most interesting takeaway you have after looking at these sources?
Why?
