HIS 100 Module Two Activity Template: Primary and Secondary Sources Replace the bracketed text below with your responses. Non-graded portion :  List your historical research topic here:  Climate Change and Environmental Issues: Creation of Earth Day  How does the Earth Benefit from electric vehicles? Graded portion: Distinguish between primary and secondary sources.  A primary source consists of information from materials that are precisely correlated to the topic you are researching. This could include any information that comes firsthand about the topic. A primary source supplies direct, raw information about the topic being researched. A secondary source is an analysis centered on the primary sources. This could include commentary from others opinions or research about the topic. Explain why it is important to consult a variety of sources when conducting historical research. Include specific details and examples.  When conducting historical research, it's crucial to consult a wide range of sources since, when we write a research paper, we're constructing a secondary source based on our own interpretation of the primary source material we examine. Primary materials are important to historians because they help them comprehend the people in history's viewpoints and events as well as the methods in which they processed their experiences and sacrifices, which had a significant impact on modern history. Utilizing a variety of sources, such as primary sources, encourages a deeper understanding of history and enables people to relate to historical events on a personal level. Identify one primary source that would help investigate your research question (include the title, author, and link to the source).  Alternative Fuels Data Center: Electric Vehicle Benefits and Considerations (energy.gov) Title: Electric Vehicle Benefits and Considerations Author: US department of Energy Identify one secondary source that would help investigate your research question (include the title, author, and link to the source).  Why Electric Cars Are Better for the Environment | Earth.Org Title: Why Electric Cars Are Better for the Environment Author: Martina Igini Choose a current event related to the subject of your historical research question and explain how they are connected.  A current event related to this topic is installing and providing homes with solar panels to supply their home with electricity.
