HIS 100 Module Two Activity Template: Primary and Secondary Sources (Assignment 2-2) The information below is necessary so I know what your project is about as we proceed through the course. It will also help you focus on the assignment. This assignment should be completed after you have finished Assignment 2-1. You can read about the differences between primary and secondary sources by scrolling through the Introduction to Module Two . General Topic - Climate Change and Environmental issues Specific Historical Topic –Chernobyl Historical Research Question – What long lasting effects has the Chernobyl disaster had on the environment and people over 20 years later Current Event – war with Ukraine and Russia and the invasion of Chernobyl by Russia Feb 2022 Replace the bracketed text below with your responses. Distinguish between primary and secondary sources. Primary source is a firsthand account of an event or the original document. The secondary sources are written after the event and are usually someone else doing an analysis of the event. Explain why it is important to consult a variety of sources when conducting historical research. Include specific details and examples. You should consult a variety of sources to get a broad picture of what you are trying to research instead of one person’s point of view. You also do not want to just look at one single person’s primary diary for example because what if they were exaggerating? Then you may not have the correct idea for your research. So if you were looking at several sources to get an idea of more than one person’s point of view you could get a better idea on if that one person was exaggerating or not. You also want to get sources from library, books, journals, newspapers, academic journals and online databases. Identify one primary source that would help investigate your research question (include the title, author, and link to the source).

Current event is the war between Ukraine and Russia. Russia invaded Chernobyl in Feb of 2022. Russian military stole the main server for monitoring radiation levels as well as stealing highly radioactive materials as prizes. The invasion spread radioactive material into the atmosphere again which could prove to be as bad as the original disaster. The rubric for Assignment 2-2 is located here
