  10. Why do we use primary sources? To find out what happened in the past. They help us find out what happened in the past without someone else’s opinion of what happened.

  11. Questions to ask yourself when looking at Primary Sources • What is it? • Who wrote (or made) this? • When did they write/ make it? • Where was this made? • Why did they write/ make it? Today’s objective: I will ask and answer questions to demonstrate my understanding.

  12. What are Secondary Sources? An informational source that is someone’s interpretation • These sources often use several primary sources to compile their information. • Examples • Biographies • Encyclopedias • History books • Textbooks

  20. Expanding what we know: Personal Primary Source Project We are going to find out a little bit about you! Tonight you are going to find one of your own primary sources to analyze and share with the class. You get to show and tell! Let’s discuss what some of those items can be and the guidelines.

  21. Let’s share our primary sources!

  22. Let’s document our primary source! • You will create a short PowerPoint with three slides. • Slide one: a photograph of you • Slide two: a photograph of your primary source • Slide three: information telling what the primary source is, when it was created, and one thing it tells about you.
