15. Where do
historians get
their
information?

16. HOTQ’s
• What is the difference between facts,
interpretations, and opinions?
• How can you tell the difference between
primary and secondary sources?
• How can I tell the difference between a cause
and an effect?

17. Historians find information from
different types of sources:
• Books
• Newspapers and magazines
• Film
• Documents (legal, letters)
• Art, architecture, photographs
• Oral Histories
• Artifacts

18. Two types of sources:
• Primary-a
piece of evidence written,
created or produced during the time
period under study. Primary sources offer an inside
view of a particular event, person, place, or time period. They
also provide interpretation and analysis of primary sources.
• Secondary-sources
provide interpretation
and analysis of primary sources. Secondary
sources are one step removed from the original event.

19. Primary Source Examples
1. Legal Document: The Declaration of Independence
2. Diary of Anne Frank
3. Artwork: Mona Lisa
4. Speeches: I have a dream
5. Newspapers: The New York Times

20. Secondary Source Examples
• Textbooks
• Movies, Plays, Songs
• Non-fiction books
• PBS documentary

21. What do historians do with these
sources?
• They have to think critically and examine each source, in order to write
the most educated and true story of what happened in the past.
• Historians have to consider several things when researching a topic:
– Who or what created the source?
– When was the source created?
– Where was the source created or found?
– Why was the source created or used?

22. Sometimes historians have to decide
whether something is a:
• Fact- Something known to be true, and cannot be
argued.
– Ex. George Washington was the first president of the United States of America.
• Interpretation -an
explanation of the meaning of a
source, or another's work. Sometimes historians must do this if
the source’s meaning is unclear.
– Ex. The man who wrote the Emperor's biography was his enemy, so it may not
present the emperor fairly.
• Opinion-a view
or judgment formed about something,
not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.
– Ex. Rome fell because the Romans were stupid.

23. Historians can use critical thinking to
determine:
• Cause-is something that makes something else
happen. To determine the cause, ask the question
"Why Did it Happen?"
• Effect-is what happens as a result of the cause.
Of two related events, it’s the one that happens
second or last. To determine the effect, ask the
question "What Happened?"

24. Example of Cause and Effect
The Fall of Rome
• Cause: Rome got too big too quickly, and the
government could not handle the size of their
empire.
• Effect: Rome falls and is broken up into
smaller pieces.
