rubric
Identifies that insider voices have authority on cultural meaning and technique; outsider voices may have authority on outside observations; the historian defaults to OWN-VOICE for questions of cultural meaning
Hints
- Look at lesson 16 narrative.
- OWN-VOICE CHECK is Box 6 of MG-7.
Misconceptions to watch
- Saying 'both voices are equally credible on everything' (the unit refuses naive relativism)
- Saying 'only insider voices matter' (the unit values outsider observations on outside-observation questions)
