N this activity, you will reference two primary-source historical documents: Declaration of Sentiments by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the Pearl Harbor speech by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Before you read the documents, read these instructions. Using what you learned in this unit, examine the sources provided to answer these questions:

Who authored the document?
What is the purpose of the document?
When was the document written?
What significant historical event or movement does the document represent?
You may need to do additional research to answer the above questions.

Do you notice any exaggeration, stereotype, or emotional appeals that may hint at the author’s bias?
How does the author form his or her argument?
What are the important themes, main ideas, and arguments presented in the document?
As you read, take notes on the important information in each document. Enter your notes in the tables provided below. Your notes should include summaries of each document’s key points, main ideas, and arguments. (You will need your notes to complete Task 2.)
