Reformation Primary Source analysis
In this activity, the students read 3 different primary sources from Martin Luther. Each of these sources were specifically chosen to showcase his dissent from the Catholic Church. On the 3rd page are DOK leveled questions dealing with the documents. While this can be presented in any way the teacher chooses, I find it beneficial to have a collaborative station for each source, and the students can rotate to the next station/source after 10-15 minutes.

This is an excerpt from the Introduction of an article on Beccaria's influence on the death penalty. The Text-based questions on page 2 range in DOK level and have students compare the Constitution to his ideas.
