Source Analysis Classroom Poster - OMCAPUR

This is a set of A3 classroom posters to assist in the teaching and remembering of source analysis. Using the acronym OMCAPUR, students can quickly and effectively remember all the elements they need to be looking for in a source in order to understand and analyse it. OMCAPUR stands for:
O - origin
M - motive
C - content
A - audience
P - perspective
U - usefulness
R - reliability

Each letter of the acronym can be cut out and then the box with the explanation stuck below or beside. It is also colour coded to assist students. These can also be printed for students to glue in their books.

I have another resource which is a complete lesson on analysing WWI sources using the steps of OMCAPUR. It breaks it down really well for students to understand and goes well with this classroom poster is this is how you would like to teach source anlaysis. The lesson includes Powerpoint and student worksheet and takes approximately two 50-55 minute lessons to complete.

If you enjoy this resource, please leave a review :)
