RE-CREATING HISTORY THROUGH RESEARCH
• When someone says “Research this topic”, what is my first step?
Key skill – Do I know how to find information I need?
• Types of Sources – Very necessary and useful tools
• Primary
• Secondary
• General Historic Background
• Using Research to develop my character’s voice – getting “In Character”
• Their beliefs, passions, backgrounds, and actions
![Page 3: RE-CREATING HISTORY THROUGH RESEARCH When someone says “Research this topic”, what is my first step? Key skill – Do I know how to find information I need?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062717/56649e495503460f94b3cdbb/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
PRIMARY SOURCES
• First hand interviews, writings, recordings by the person being researched – or someone who knew them well. Information that came straight from that person.
• Artifacts like memos, autobiographies, quotes, journals, speeches, personal belongings, etc…
• Examples could include: Diaries, journals, letters, memoirs, interviews, instructions, film, photos, artwork, artifacts, etc…
• You must use 2 of these

SECONDARY SOURCES
• Secondary historical sources are written by either:
• An expert (like a professor of history) who uses a collection of primary and other secondary sources.
• Someone who lived in the time of the person/event being described. This author had very little or no contact with the person, was NOT present at the event being described, but they spoke to people who were and gathered information from the media of their time (newspapers, tv broadcasts, etc.)
• Examples: Biographies, textbooks, specialized encyclopedia collections, newspaper and magazine reports and articles.
• You must use 2 of these

GENERAL HISTORICAL BACKGROUND SOURCES
• Sources that use research from many sources. This is usually a source people go to when they are starting their research in order to find more sources on a topic.
• Ex: Wikipedia, general encyclopedias, reference reads, etc…
You will need 1 of these for your blog
![Page 6: RE-CREATING HISTORY THROUGH RESEARCH When someone says “Research this topic”, what is my first step? Key skill – Do I know how to find information I need?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062717/56649e495503460f94b3cdbb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
REAL PERSONALITIES
• Real personalities are based on actual characters from the World War II Era
• Ex: FDR, Hitler, Ira Hayes, etc…
• Some sources are harder to find on real personalities than others, but they do exist.
• You need 2 Primary Sources, 2 Secondary Sources, and 1 GHB Source
![Page 7: RE-CREATING HISTORY THROUGH RESEARCH When someone says “Research this topic”, what is my first step? Key skill – Do I know how to find information I need?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062717/56649e495503460f94b3cdbb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
COMPILATION PERSONALITIES
• Based upon characters that could have or did exist but might not have had a giant voice
• Average Jane’s and Joes who “lived” it.
• Citizens, regular soldiers, pilots, nurses, people in labor camps, etc…
• Students who are these characters have to find sources that could have been about this person.
• Find primary, secondary, or GHB Sources for people like them.
• Ex: Your character = Soviet Soldier in Stalingrad
• You search for sources of people in the Battle of Stalingrad and use those sources to help you build and understand your character’s experience and voice.
• Same Requirement - 2xPrimary / 2x Secondary / 1x GHB
