B. Once one primary source was selected and read, compose an original post that states first, the main idea of the primary source you read and second, the context of the primary source (that is, what is the connection with the era the primary source originated). Keep in mind that the historical context should connect with the topic of the primary source somehow.  Drawing the connection points to avoid deduction. Your original post should be between hundred and twenty-five to one hundred and fifty.
