Primary vs. Secondary Sources It matters. Trust us.
Primary Source “A document or physical object which was written or created during the time under study”. “These sources were present during an experience or time period and offer an inside view of a particular event”. Quoted from :
Secondary Source “Interprets and analyzes primary sources”. “One or more steps removed from the event”.

Practice! Ms. Sulieman, Ms. Miner, Ms. Hustead, can you give us an example of an event in US History and challenge us to find a PRIMARY SOURCE that might be helpful in understanding the significance of the event?
