6.H.1.2

6.H.1.2 Summarize the literal meaning of historical documents in order to establish context. || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Literacy Standard(s)**=== || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Learning Target/Task Analysis**=== The student will be able to: Establish a theme or point of a historical document by determining the word for word, nonfigurative meaning. For example: Examine the following excerpt from Hammurabi’s Code. “If a nobleman puts out the eye of another nobleman, his eye shall be put out.” When taken literally, this means simply that one man’s eye is removed in exchange for the eye he removed. However; when the phrase “an eye for an eye” is taken as a whole, it signifies retaliation or retribution.
