Contextualization Classroom Poster

Contextualization asks students to locate a document in time and place and to understand how these factors shape its content. This poster reminds students when reading a document to ask:
• When and where was the document created? 
• What was different then? 
• What was the same? 
• How might the circumstances in which the document was created affect its content?

The file is designed to be printed on 18" by 24" paper.
