2. Outcomes Dissect meaning relative to primary sources Identify various types of primary sources applicable to content areas Locate (free) primary source materials via the Internet Consider ways primary sources might enhance classroom content Select one document, photograph or artifact that could be used within individual content areas

3. Is It Primary? Primary sources are the "materials on a topic upon which subsequent interpretations or studies are based, anything from firsthand documents such as poems, diaries, court records, and interviews to research results generated by experiments, surveys, ethnographies, and so on.“ Primary sources are records of events as they are first described, without any interpretation or commentary. They are also sets of data, such as census statistics, which have been tabulated, but not interpreted. From Hairston, Maxine and John J. Ruszkiewicz. The Scott, Foresman Handbook for Writers. 4th ed. New York : HarperCollins College Publishers, 1996, pg. 547.

4. Or Is It Secondary? Secondary sources, on the other hand, offer an analysis or a restatement of primary sources. They often attempt to describe or explain primary sources. Some secondary sources not only analyze primary sources, but use them to argue a contention or to persuade the reader to hold a certain opinion. Examples of secondary sources include: dictionaries, encyclopedias, textbooks, and books and articles that interpret or review research works. From Hairston, Maxine and John J. Ruszkiewicz. The Scott, Foresman Handbook for Writers. 4th ed. New York : HarperCollins College Publishers, 1996, pg. 547.

5. In the Raw Primary sources are sources that have yet to be interpreted. It’s up to you to interpret them. In other words, they are “in the raw”— they’re in their natural state; they haven’t been processed or polished or perfected
