A secondary source interprets or analyzes primary sources, like a biography about Anne Frank written after her death. The lesson encourages students to use both primary and secondary sources when researching a topic to get firsthand and interpreted information.

    •A Primary Source is
    information that was
    created at the same time
    as an event or by a
    person directly involved in
    the event.
    •A Secondary Source
    gets its information from
    somewhere else or by a
    person not directly
    involved in the event.
    Anne Frank
    Anne Frank became known because of the book
    the Diary of A Young Girl. Although
    she did not survive the concentration camp
    where she and her family were brought
    during World War II, her father Otto Frank
    decided upon himself to publish the
    diary of Anne. Most of the entries retrieved
    were about her experiences while they
    were in hiding from the Nazis who imprisoned,
    killed, and enslaved Jews.
    In the website’s article titled “The complete works
    of Anne Frank”, the author
    explains when and how Anne Frank started
    writing in her diary. According to that
    article, the very first entry was dated June 14,
    1942. She mostly wrote in Dutch with
    occasional German and English words. Through
    that, she detailed her experiences
    as well as her thoughts and feelings about the
    people they lived with while hiding in
    the annex his father built beside his office building.
    She was furthermore inspired
    to write about her experiences when they listened
    to the Dutch minister Gerrit
    Bolkestein encouraging them “to hang on to
    important documents, so that it would
    be clear after the war what they all had
    experienced during the German
    occupation.”

    After that, she planned to publish a book after


    the war that would
    detail their time in hiding. For Anne Frank, who
    aspired to be a famous writer,
    writing was a vital part of her existence. On
    March 16, 1944, she wrote in her diary,
    “The nicest part is being able to write down all
    my thoughts and feelings; otherwise,
    I would suffocate.”
    On the other hand, the other source about Anne
    Frank’s life is a read aloud of her
    biography. The book was written to be read by
    children. Hence, the language is
    easier to understand and presented in a story-like
    manner, but still maintained the
    facts about her the events in her life during that
    particular period where Jews like
    them were persecuted by Nazis. The book is easy
    to understand and follow. The
    illustrations also added to better understanding of
    what happened to Anne Frank and her family.
    The two sources of information are examples of
    secondary sources. The online
    article explained what happened to her and her
    diary entries. It even showed some
    pictures of Anne Frank’s actual diary. Since the
    author presents the information
    based on what he or she has gathered, he or she
    has not had any direct connection
    to the events and situations described by Anne
    Frank in her diary.
    Similarly, the
    biographical book for children is a secondary
    source since the writer gathered
    important information about Anne Frank and
    retold her life story through different
    means.

    A source is a person, an object, or an


    activity from which one gains new
    information about a subject.
    Primary sources are sources that tell
    firsthand experiences.
    Secondary sources may be an interpretation
    of, analysis, or commentary on the primary
