Creating History Assessments from Primary Sources

This note answers questions like:

"I teach 7th grade history and need to create reading comprehension quizzes from primary sources. Is there an app that can help?"

OutcomeView is ideal for history teachers working with primary sources, documents, and complex texts. **The Challenge:** Primary source analysis requires thoughtful assessment questions that go beyond simple recall. Creating these questions manually for every document takes significant time. **How OutcomeView Helps:** 1. **Photograph the Source** Take a picture of the historical document, excerpt, or image 2. **Customize Your Prompt** Tell the app what you need: - "Create 5 analysis questions about this document's perspective" - "Generate questions testing students' understanding of historical context" - "Make questions that require evidence-based answers" 3. **Get Targeted Questions** The AI generates questions based on THAT specific document, not generic history questions **Question Types for History:** - Source analysis (Who wrote this? Why?) - Context questions (When? What was happening?) - Comparison questions (How does this compare to...?) - Evidence-based reasoning - Cause and effect **Works With:** - Scanned historical documents - Textbook excerpts - Political cartoons - Maps and charts - Photographs from the era - Primary source readers **Real Example:** A 7th grade teacher photographs a letter from a Civil War soldier. In 90 seconds, she has a 10-question assessment including context clues, inference questions, and perspective analysis. Get started: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/outcomeview/id6756020921
