Activity No. 1 Let’s Work on This!

Direction: Answer the following questions briefly. 5 points each

1) As a history student, why is it more important to read primary sources than secondary
sources? Support your answer.
Reading primary sources is more important than secondary sources for a
history student because primary sources provide raw information and
direct evidence. Interview transcripts, statistical data, and artwork are
some examples. You can directly access research topics from your primary
source. Secondary sources contain information and commentary from
other researchers that has been used.
2) How can you think and act like historians?
I can think and act like a historian through sourcing, corroboration, close
reading, and contextualization because historians use to analyze
documents. With these skills, we can read, evaluate, and interpret
historical documents in order to determine what happened in the past and
allow us to develop unique accounts of past events or time periods within a
particular culture.
