Historians need... Evidence: facts or information that can be used to test whether a belief is true or valid

Belief: The Khmer Empire in India was powerful Example Belief: The Khmer Empire in India was powerful Evidence: The Khmer Empire built the detailed temple of Angkor Wat

Historians need... Sources: historians use two types of sources primary sources and secondary sources

Historians need... Facts: A fact is something that can be proven about a subject or can be tested and proven Look for clues like: “75% of…” “Experts say…”

Opinions: What someone thinks about a subject Look for clues like: Historians need... Opinions: What someone thinks about a subject Look for clues like: “It’s obvious...” “I believe...” “They should...”

Checkpoint Fact or Opinion? In the U.S. there are 88 million pet cats and 74 million dogs. Cats are the friendliest animal to have as a pet. In 2013, a cat ran for mayor of Mexico City. According to experts, cats can recognize their owner’s voice, but just don’t care.

Watch out for... When studying Primary or Secondary Sources, watch out for contradictions and inconsistencies.

Watch out for... Contradiction: the facts presented cannot all be true; they clash with one another Example: Someone says “no one like cats” yet you know there are 88 million pet cats. Does the statement match the fact?

Watch out for... Inconsistency: the facts are presented differently; this raises questions about the source’s accuracy Example: One person writes an article on how cats are mean yet spends their free time dumping cold water on cats. Is this person a trustworthy source?

Internal inconsistency: within a single document Watch out for... Internal inconsistency: within a single document External inconsistency: when comparing more than one document or source

Contradiction or Inconsistent? Checkpoint Contradiction or Inconsistent? Page one of a diary entry reads… Today, the cats Kirby and Ellie woke me up first. However, page two of a diary reads... Yesterday, when Kirby and Elise woke me up… Contradiction or Inconsistent? Internal or External?
