About this printable

This A4 Source Reliability Analysis Frame is a scaffolded organiser for guided or independent source evaluation tasks. It breaks the process into numbered sections: identification, content summary, a multi-row reliability factors table (purpose, author, audience, time/place, biases) with a reliability continuum for each, an overall reliability judgement, 'use in context' prompts, and a final reflection box. Use it to make students' reasoning explicit when working with primary and secondary sources in HASS, history, civics or media units.
