1. Source-Based Exercise Worksheet 1

2. Jot down the questions you have for Sources A and B In the course of analyzing the other 7 sources that will be given to you Put a tick beside the question that has been answered with any one inference made from the other sources

3. From Source C, make inferences pertaining to What can the artefacts tell you about the culture of Indus Valley Civilization? In your worksheet or note book, highlight inferences that are supported by evidence from Source C

10. Now make sure you highlight all inferences that you have made about Indus Valley Civilization via Sources C and D How many questions, that you posed via Sources A and B, have been answered by the inferences that you have made via Sources C and D?

11. Now study Sources E and F Source E is a picture of jewellery found when archaeologists excavated grounds of what used to be IVC The map in Source F is supposed to show trade routes and the location of Indus Valley Civilization

13. Based on Sources E and F, how much evidence can you gather from them to prove that the inferences you have made so far are valid?
