Check Your Sources!

OBJECTIVE:
It is important to have a balance of primary and secondary sources when presenting research on a particular subject. This week you have been gathering information on the Holocaust, and your goal today will be to identify the characteristics of a primary and a secondary source, and then apply that knowledge to your own work. You will need to have gathered AT LEAST 2-3 primary sources and AT LEAST 2-3 secondary sources for your presentations.

PROCEDURE:
1. Using your headphones, view the following presentation:

2. Review your collected material and identify your sources and source type on the worksheet.

3. Discuss your findings with your group members.

4. Continue research. :)
