Primary vs Secondary Sources


Standards
RI6.8 Trace and evaluate the argument and specific claim in a text, distinguishing claims that are supported by evidence from claims that are not.
W6.8 Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, & assess the credibility of each source.

  • For your research essay you will be needing 4 - 6 sources. You should get both Primary & Secondary Sources. 
  • 1 to 2 sources should be from a primary source. 2 - 4 sources can be secondary sources.

Essential Question: 
So...
What is a primary source & what is a secondary source?


Primary Source - Actual records that provide firsthand accounts of events

Examples: Letters, Diary Entrees, Journals, Photographs, Interviews, Autobiographies, & Artifacts

Secondary Sources - Secondhand accounts of primary sources. They comment on, summarize, explain, report, or draw conclusions from primary sources, or other secondary sources

Examples: textbooks, encyclopedias, articles, essays, biographies, & summaries


So now......
Can you determine the difference between a primary source & a secondary source?







Directions:
Read the description of each source and determine if it is a primary or secondary source. Complete 1 - 15.
