    This document provides a mnemonic device called "SOAPSTONE" to help students analyze primary sources in AP World History. SOAPSTONE stands for six elements to examine in a primary source: Subject, Occasion, Audience, Purpose, Speaker, and Tone. Students are prompted to consider what the source says, when it was produced, who it was produced for, what it was intended to do or effect it was supposed to have, who is speaking in the source, and what attitude or voice the source conveys.
