4. What are sources? Sources are anything you use to help you to learn about and understand your topic. Examples: books, newspaper or magazine articles, diaries, interviews, videos, songs, encyclopedias, websites, and more.

5. Primary vs. Secondary Sources Primary sources – written or created during the time period being studied by someone living then. Examples: diaries, newspaper articles, paintings, photographs. Secondary sources: written or created after the time period being studied by someone not living through it. Examples: books, journal articles, etc. primary and secondary sources
