Below you will find all the tasks and sources you need to work with

Assignments 1-3 include different sources that you need to use to answer the questions. These are both memoir sources, where Morten Thing recalls his activism, and various other types of sources about the same events. Task 4 is a reflection and discussion task that summarizes your work with the sources. When working with memories, you can make a note when it is clear that you are working with a memory. This will make it easier for you to answer the questions in Task 4.

There are questions where you have to reflect on the answers and questions where you have to discuss what you think. Of course, you can only discuss if you work in groups. Write down on a piece of paper or in a note program a short summary of what you come up with for each question.
