How do Primary and Secondary Sources differ?


While primary sources are the original records created by firsthand witnesses of an
event, secondary sources are documents, texts, images, and objects about an event
created by someone who typically referenced the primary sources for their

information. Textbooks are excellent examples of secondary sources.

Why is it important for students to use Primary Sources?


1. Direct engagement with artifacts and records of the past encourages deeper
content exploration, active analysis, and thoughtful response.
2. Analysis of primary sources helps students develop critical thinking skills by
examining meaning, context, bias, purpose, point of view, etc.
3. Primary source analysis fosters learner-led inquiry as students construct
knowledge by interacting with a variety of sources that represent different accounts
of the past.
4. Students realize that history exists through interpretation that reflects the
viewpoints and biases of those doing the interpreting.
