Common Core Standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.9-10.1 Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of primary and secondary sources, attending to such features as the date and origin of the information.

From its humble beginnings of a small military unit, the NSA is now the largest intelligence service operated by the US Government. By looking at its role, how it accomplishes its mission, and the real world impacts from its missions is key to understanding the present and navigating the future.
