1. Looking for Similarities and Patterns Step One: You are historians of the Russo-Japanese War. You have been given an unorganized set of visual primary documents (slides two through four). These documents are in no particular order or established categories. It is up to you to examine the documents, and then establish categories by content. Look for patterns in the content. Copy and paste postcards with like content onto empty slides (slides five through 10). After a slide has three or four postcards with like theme or content within it, write a descriptive title for that category at the top. Although there are five empty slides in the template, you are not bound to that number and may insert additional slides. Step Two: Examine the signature graphic for postcards of Japanese origin (slide 10). Choose an alternative graphic from the set of postcards and list three reasons for choosing this graphic.
