2. Can you tell which of these images are primary sources?
Secondary sources? Both are important when researching
historical events and eras.
We will explore the differences between these two types of
sources and see examples of each:

3.  Include objects, documents and other material that
was written, made, or originated during the time
period that is being studied or investigated.
 Examples of primary sources can be photographs
and artifacts, autobiographies, letters, census
records, interviews, original artworks, diary and
journal excerpts, pieces of
clothing, currency, original documents, etc.
Remember! Primary sources are ORIGINAL and CONTEMPORARY

4.  Are NOT works that originated during the time
period/era being investigated. Secondary sources
are materials that draw
conclusions, summarize, and review facts and
events based off of primary sources.
 Examples include published textbooks, journal
articles, documentaries, biographies, scientific
reviews, and experimental results.
Remember! Secondary sources INTERPRET and ANALYZE
