  1. Learning Target I can explain the difference between a primary and secondary source. Don’t Know Much About History – Sam Cooke

  2. Primary Sources Primary sources are the original sources of information recorded at the time an event occurred. First-hand accounts of events Data collected for scientific studies Historical documents

  3. Why use primary sources? • To explain how major events are related to each other in time. • To think critically and distinguish between fact and opinion. • To recognize point of view in print and visual materials.

  4. Why use primary sources? To develop your own conclusions and analyze how historical events affect your life. To recognize failures and successes in the past in order to make better decisions as a citizen. To understand who you are by examining your roots or placing yourself in that time period or situation.

  5. Primary Source Examples Declaration of Independence • Diaries • Poetry • Personal Interviews • Government Documents • Autobiographies • Peer-reviewed Journal Articles • Photographs • Artifacts/Ephemera

  13. IS YOUR MEMOIR A PRIMARY OR A SECONDARY SOURCE?

  14. IS YOUR MEMOIR A PRIMARY OR A SECONDARY SOURCE? PRIMARY! THE WORDS ARE YOURS AND THE EXPERIENCE IS A FRIST HAND ACCOUNT

  15. Now for a Brain Break…kinda… What you are about to see is real. After you see this I would like you to answer the question, “WHY DO WE STUDY HISTORY?” A day in the life of a typical American high school.

  16. Why do we study anything? Take three minutes and turn and talk with a colleague.

  18. Can you graduate and not be ready for college? A report released Thursday from the College Board also finds overall student performance on the SAT lagging for the class of 2015, with average scores for reading, math and writing at their lowest level in nearly a decade. The nonprofit organization, which administers the exam, said only about 42 percent of test-takers, about 712,000 students, met a benchmark that indicates they’re likely ready for college-level work or career-training programs. The benchmark is a combined score of 1,550 or higher for math, reading and writing. The percentage meeting that benchmark has largely remained the same in the past few years. IS THIS REPORT A PRIMARY OR SECONDARY SOURCE?
