Primary & Secondary Sources Bias/Persepctive SOAPS

Sources: A Historian’s Best Friend

Sources In order to learn and understand the past historians rely on sources Sources can come in many different shapes, sizes, mediums, ect Literally anything can be used as a source in history! ANYTHING!

Sources So we know that a source can be just about anything Now we need to talk about the different types of sources Does anybody know the two types of sources? There are two main types of source: Secondary Sources Primary Sources

Primary vs Secondary Primary sources are any written documents or objects which were written or created during the time being studied Secondary Sources are accounts of the past created through the study and interpretation of primary sources

Let’s Practice I am going to show you a number of items and it is your job to tell me if you think it is a primary source or not If you think the source is a primary source put one(1) finger up If you think the source is a secondary source put two(2) fingers up Be ready to explain your decision

Bias!/Perspective What does the term bias mean? To feel or show prejudice for or against someone or something More likely to believe that some people, ideas, etc., are better than others

Bias!/Perspective Do you think bias is bad thing or a good thing? Do you think you have any sort of bias? Maybe on specific topics?

Bias!/Perspective Every single source, secondary and primary, has a bias of some kind When examining a source we must really think about the person/group that created the source and be aware of their bias

Bias!/Perspective It is not a bad thing that sources have a bias, but it is something which we as historians must keep in mind at all times We must keep in mind the MOTIVATION and CONTEXT for the creation of each source

Analyzing Sources As we just talked about every source has a bias and as historians we must try to be aware of these biases When doing research or examining a source you have to ask yourself some questions to help better analyze the sources

Questions to Ask When Examining Sources What is the source about? What is the subject of the source? When was the source created? Who is the source intended for? Who is the audience? Why was the source created? Who created the source?

SOAPS! Here is a nice way to remember these questions: S.O.A.P.S S: Subject-What is the subject? O: Occasion-What was the occasion? A: Audience-Who was the intended audience? P: Purpose-What the purpose of the source? S: Speaker-Who was the speaker?

Questions to Ask When Examining Sources It is important to make sure the sources you are using fit what you are trying to do So you must ask yourself the following questions: Does the source fit the subject/topic I am researching? If yes, ask yourself. How can I use this source?

Now Let’s Practice For this activity you can work by yourself or with one other person NO GROUPS LARGER THAN TWO PEOPLE One person needs to get out a piece of paper On this paper you will record some info about primary sources we are going to examine

Now Let’s Practice Your job is to examine the following four sources and answer the SOAPS questions You should also come up with at least two topics you could use these sources for Be prepared to share what your group discussed when examining your sources.
