Essential Questions “History”

How can we know about how people lived, if we were not

Primary & Secondary Sources

Primary Sources are the raw materials of history – original documents and objects which were created at the time under study. They are different from Secondary Sources, accounts or interpretations of events created by someone without first-hand experience.

Why are Primary Sources so Important?
