Federal Archive Card — child-adapted Wineburg 4-question + NMAI fifth-move primary-source analysis tool. 6 boxes: (1) WHO MADE THIS? (sourcing); (2) WHEN and WHERE? (contextualization); (3) WHY did they make it — what did they want the reader to think? (sourcing extended); (4) Does ANOTHER source AGREE or DISAGREE? (corroboration — name the other source); (5) WHAT exact words tell us most? (close reading — quote one phrase); (6) WHOSE VOICE is silent in this source, and what would they say? (NMAI 5th move). Used on every federal-archive lesson (4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18). Style: clean diagram with 6 numbered boxes on cardstock, large enough for child writing in boxes.
