Also, the primary sources I will be incorporating in my lessons, which are a song, photographs, documents, and images. Also, the secondary sources I will be using are books, charts, class notes, and the class textbook.

If historians were to only use primary sources from one perspective, they would lose the chance to know different point of views. Take into consideration Joseph Galloway’s Speech to the Continental Congress. It is clear that he is trying to persuade the colonists not to go against Britain. Now, this speech is a primary source because is a document that provides explicit information about an event. But, a couple of years later, Thomas Paine writes the pamphlet “Common Sense”, where he advocates the country to be independent from Britain. If historians were only to use Joseph Galloway’s primary source, they would never be able to know that not everyone was thinking the same way of him. In order to fully understand what is the cause or the causes that lead to different events in history, it is important to be familiar to every kind of document regarding that period. Read and analyze every prime source of that period to have a complete and neat vision of the

The best historians are the ones who write the strongest arguments. To make strong arguments, it's very important to use strong sources. Sources are either primary or secondary. The primary sources are the original ones, which date back to the events of that time period. Secondary sources are the arguments of other historians or anything that talks about primary sources. Choosing the best sources means understanding what the source is saying and using accurate information to make your own argument.

All historians have areas of interest that they choose to study. This is what you will be doing in your final paper! First, however, you must decide what will be the focus of your paper.

From the first day this year we learned about two different kinds of sources, primary and secondary this standard helped me because I know now the different difference between an image or document you want to use primary source is something that was made in the time here they 're made by someone who 's there during the time the secondary sources something that was not made in the time, or by someone in the time. This standard was a big part of our Native American images in the article story/facts. Another time this standard was used during was during our tiki toki timeline information and images. This is very important to have different perspectives on topics because it is easier to imagine what actually happened. While keeping in mind during my studies for any kind of historical figure I wanted more than just that person 's view, like maybe their wife, kids,mom, father, friend, etc. Native American studies using perspectives of other people really helped me to see through their eyes. For example, in my tribe I used our tribe 's chief as one of the perspectives. It showed what really happened between them and the white to during manifest destiny. For example, when we had to research about the different battles of our tribe, mine being the Cherokee, it really was much better for me to see what had happened through others perspectives. In one of our bigger battles the battle of horseshoe bend, it helped to see

For example, if there wasn’t a Constitution of the United States or even a Declaration of Independence, America today would evidently be like 1777 America. There would still be no rights for women and minorities, presidents would still thrive thirteen or more years like FDR and et cetera. In addition to the stated above, if primary sources were nonexistent, we’d be clueless to any truths. Compared to all the similar tall tales around the world; no one knows which one is true and the original. An example of this would be children in a circle, their teacher tells them to pass “I like spaghetti for dinner” around ear to ear. By the fifth child the phrase changes to something not far from “I like confetti for dinner.” One cannot write or study a topic without the right sources. Furthermore, if primary sources were insubstantial, secondary sources would possibly not be around as

While going through pieces of information I had gathered from my family, I came across the audio transcript from my grandfather, Fred Heim’s interview with the Sydney Jewish Museum. This was the first piece of information I analysed for my Research Project and I spent the next few weeks examining and studying the information and analysing his words and expressions. This experience was worthwhile as it led me to my topic question and gave me a reliable primary source that I could base my research on. However, after beginning my folio I found that finding secondary sources was incredibly difficult and I became

When looking at a primary source, the analyzer must take into consideration several components that can help him or her narrow down their inferences about the source. The first thing to analyze in depth is the Authorship. This means to look specifically at the topics addressed and the natural biases that are relevant in the work. The tone in the subject matter is also important to see how strongly the source may show content or resent towards a specific topic. Even certain writing styles can help decipher an era, culture or even an individual. The specific word syntax leads to how an analyzer would discover the purpose or rationale for the primary source. Purpose and rationale are huge parts of understanding a source and the time period

A primary source is the original copy of the document or record that was created by someone, which allows them to understand or experience what may or could have happened during the event that occurred. For example, if an earthquake occurred in a local area and you or a group of people witnessed it, this is classed as primary source as you experienced what happened there at the time and remember seeing what happened and all the carnage that the earthquake caused.

The author’s central argument is that all historical inferences cannot solely be the result of arguments of best explanation due to their inherent nature to only be beneficial when there is an insufficiency of historical evidence. It is argued that while arguments of best explanation can be used for historical analysis, by use of their seven concepts which can determine how relatively logically strong an argument is, arguments of best explanation on their own cannot authenticate themselves without use of further evidence, due to their inability to utilize positive evidence. Without the use positive evidence in these types of arguments, they cannot be confirmed to be true, but rather represent the strongest of unprovable hypotheses.

Working on my investigation showed me that even when researching recent history, you could find many limitations. For example, interviewing witnesses seems like a great source of information and opinion and is a real advantage when researching recent history as opposed to less recent history where no witnesses are alive anymore. A problem that I came across though is even I can find some primary resources, that it is very hard to prove the reliability of such information. In addition, I used more secondary resources in this essay, reading textbooks and articles which I think it is a more reliable resources. For example, when I was finding the American’s offensive route, I found a lots of different route in the internet. In addition, I used

a document created after the time period being studied using primary sources to write about it

This article addresses a popular topic – getting students to think like historians using inquiry. The author provides a clear strategy for teachers to align historical thinking to the C3 Framework using a five-step process: engagement, exploration, explanation, elaboration, and evaluation. This model appears originate from science education and is somewhat similar to the procedure outlined by Bruce Lesh in Why Won’t You Just Tell Us the Answer?

Primary sources are those sources that are the evidence that an event occurred or about a certain time in history. Artwork, court documents, eyewitness accounts and interviews, meeting minutes, census data, maps, personal journals and diaries are some examples of primary sources. The purpose of these sources is to give the researcher the first-hand experience of what, when where, and/or why something happened. These sources give a first-hand account of the event.

“Historians are people who always seek the truth about the past insofar as that is possible. Truth that is never quite attainable in a straight line that is never precisely straight. Historians are craftsmen who construct their story on the basis of evidence by selecting and arranging the facts (or ideas, values, or artefacts) in a chronological sequence that has a beginning”. (Williams, 2007)
