The first step in thinking historically is being able to distinguish between primary and secondary sources.


  1. Click this link to access pictures of primary sources.
  2. Add page 7 to your notebook Table of Content.
  3. Title page 7, "Primary and Secondary Sources."
  4. On the front of page 7 write, "Primary Sources."
  5. On the back of page 7 write, "Secondary Sources."
  6. Cut out the pictures and glue to the proper spots on page 7.

Click here to access the sources.
Next, you need to be able to source a document. Historians that are faced with a primary or secondary source will first as these questions: 

1. What is the title?
2. Who is the author/creator?
3. Where was it created?
4. When was it created?
5. What is the perspective of the creator?

Apply sourcing to a Lunchroom Fight.................click the link here and answer the questions.
