    Historians rely on evidence left behind from historical events like primary and secondary sources to understand the past, since events cannot be directly studied. They evaluate the accuracy of sources by checking for internal consistency, where the facts in a source do not contradict each other, and external consistency, where facts can be corroborated against other sources. Historians analyze sources for accuracy to understand historical events.

    Unit 1: An Introduction to World History Lesson 4

    Big Idea Card

    Big Ideas of the Lesson 4, Unit 1

     “Historical events happen once and then “disappear.” Since we cannot study
    historical events directly, historians rely on whatever evidence the event has
    left behind.

     Historians analyze this evidence (primary and secondary sources) for


    accuracy.

     Two ways to evaluate the accuracy of a source are by exploring internal


    consistency and external consistency.

     Internal consistency means that the facts within the source do not contradict
    each other.

     External consistency means that the facts within the source can be
    corroborated “against” other sources.
