7 What do the words primary and secondary mean? In what contexts have you encountered these words?

8  Credibility  Evaluation of Sources  Sources Primary Secondary

10 With so much available information, students must decipher what is credible and useful for their purposes. Where to look What to look for What to accept

11  Does the author have expertise to write on the topic?  Is the information in this source up-to- date?  Does the publisher affect the information?  What do reviewers say about the source?  Is the source appropriate for your research?

12  Who is the owner of the site—the producer of the content? Does that owner have anything to gain from you using the site? advertising links potential purchase  Is the information consistent with book sources?  Is there a prejudice or bias that is readily apparent? advocacy or hate group  Does the site have a professional, reputable appearance? (Note: Many websites are software now and not self-created, so they generally appear more professional; thus, this cannot be the only criteria for judgment.) no flashy ads or pop ups no malicious links

13  Source: Something that supplies information  Primary Source: a document/ physical object written/ created during the time under study…present during an experience or time period & offer inside view of event  Secondary Source: interprets and analyzes primary sources…one+ steps removed from event & may have pictures, quotes or graphics of primary sources in them

23 1) Individually: Identify primary and secondary sources 2) As a small group: Evaluate the credibility of sources (use evaluation questions)

24 1. Work individually to determine if sources on handout are primary or secondary (we will review as a class) 10 minutes

25 1. In small groups of 2-3, identify as primary/secondary and evaluate the credibility of the source given to you on a scale of 1-5 (1= not credible; 5= very credible). 2. Be ready to defend your evaluation and explain how/when it might be useful. 10 minutes

26 Why is research important? Why is distinguishing between primary and secondary sources helpful?

28 What interests you? What are you curious about?

29  Airport Security  Animal Rights  Bullying  Censorship  Child Soldiers  Drug Abuse  Education  Food  Holocaust  Immigration  Military  Parenting  Privacy  Racism/ Bias  Social Justice  Steroids  Technology  Terrorism  Vaccines  Wages

30 How can I create guiding questions and find credible/useful sources?

31 Essential Questions (EQ): Broad (but specific enough for the scope of your project) question to be answered as a result of completing the project.

32 Guiding Questions: More focused questions which help guide the path of your research—you will develop some before beginning the research, and then more as you research and find other unknowns

33 Steps: 1. Decide on Topic 2. Pose Essential Question 3. Share EQ with peer for feedback 4. Pose Guiding/ Follow-Up Questions 5. Get Ms. Sho to sign for approval Due Friday (A) or Tuesday (B) if not finished in class

34 1) Find sources listed below pertaining to your guiding questions A) Find secondary source—dictionary or encyclopedia B) Find secondary source—website C) Find another source—journal, newspaper, or magazine article, letter, interview, or artifact (physical item or photograph) 2) Record information on CREDIBLE sources— don’t do source notecards until you are sure the source is credible/useful for your project
