Prompt
Build age-appropriate questions from supplied historical sources. Input: use only the notes at the end. If a fact this job needs is missing, ask one direct question and do not guess. Format for Thanksgiving source-based classroom guide: 1. Keep source perspectives distinct, cite claims and do not sanitise or invent historical context. Do not add facts, names, dates, numbers or sources that are not in the notes. Notes: Questions for age 13. Keep the excerpts distinct. Source 1, a 1621 letter in the packet: the writer lists a harvest meal and says local people brought deer. Source 2, a 1970 tribal history excerpt: the same season included earlier violence, and the meal did not end the conflict. Ask: which foods does Source 1 name, and which lines say so? What does Source 2 say happened before the meal? Keep its violence wording instead of softening it. How can the two sit side by side without becoming one cheerful story? What is absent from both, so it will not be filled in? No speech is written for anyone the packet does not quote.

Classroom questions for age 13. The two sources stay distinct. Claims are tied to the source that states them. Violence wording is not softened. No speech is written for anyone the packet does not quote, and nothing absent from both sources is filled in. Source 1. A 1621 letter in the packet. The writer lists a harvest meal and says local people brought deer. Source 2. A 1970 tribal history excerpt. The same season included earlier violence, and the meal did not end the conflict. Questions. Which foods does Source 1 name, and which lines say so? From the supplied summary, Source 1 names deer brought by local people, inside a harvest meal. Point back to the letter lines in the packet rather than adding foods. What does Source 2 say happened before the meal? It says the same season included earlier violence. Keep that wording. How can the two sit side by side without becoming one cheerful story? Source 2 says the meal did not end the conflict, so the two accounts are not merged into one cheerful story. What is absent from both, so it will not be filled in? Anything the packet does not quote stays absent, including any speech for a person the packet does not quote.
