Module 2 Short Responses – Question 1
What
types
of primary and secondary sources will you need to use to support the topic
you are examining in your essay? You don't need the actual sources yet, but you should
have an idea of what they might be (such as an eyewitness account of an event, for
example).
The types of primary sources that I will need to support my topic of the Cherokee Trail of
Tears are maps of the trails taken from the 1830s, pictures or artwork taken and created
during the 1830s that relate to the Cherokee Trail of Tears, and written experiences or
journals from people who experienced this historical event.
The types of secondary sources that I will need to support my topic of the Cherokee Trail of
Tears are journal articles or textbooks about the historical event and biographies from people
from the historical event.
