Napoleon's Retreat
This task measures students’ ability to source a document. When historians interpret a document, they first look to find out who wrote it and when. This information presents important clues about whether the source provides reliable evidence about the past. This assessment gauges whether students understand an important aspect of sourcing: the time elapsed between when a document was produced and the event that it depicts.
Students who understand the importance of when a document was produced will see that the image of The Burning of Moscow is of little use to historians who wish to understand Napoleon's invasion of Russia, because it was produced over 80 years after the event.
