This document provides a table for students to classify resources as either primary or secondary sources. Primary sources are original materials that were created during or close to the event or time period being studied, while secondary sources are created later by someone who did not directly experience or participate in the event. Students are tasked with looking through a list of resources and writing them in the appropriate column as either a primary or secondary source.
