Secondary Source:documents or artifacts written
after an event has occurred, providing secondhand accounts of
that event, person, or topic. Unlike primary sources, which
provide first-hand accounts, secondary sources offer
different perspectives, analysis, and conclusions of those
accounts.
Task I: “Mindwalk”Have you ever thought about all the evidence you leave behind on a daily basis?
No…well you will today! Think about ("mindwalk") through all of the activities you were involved in during the past 24-48 hours. In your writing journals (FRONT),
create a “T-Chart” like the one below and list as many of these activities as you can remember. For each activity on your list, write down what evidence, if any, your
activities might have left behind. Activity Evidence Left Behind
1. Sent emails at work.2. I bought groceries at Publix.3. Paid for gas for my car.
1. Emails have time and date. (stored online, could be printed out…)
2. Reciept has time, date and items purchased listed. Store cameras.
3. Receipt at the gas pump and cameras at the station.
Don’t forget to label your journal paper with our common heading!!!
Review your entire list and what you wrote about evidence your activities left behind. Make a note next to each item based on the following questions:
1. Which of your daily activities were most likely to leave trace evidence behind?2. What, if any, of that evidence might be preserved for the future? Why?3. What might be left out of an historical record of your activities? Why?4. What would a future historian be able to tell about your life and your society based on evidence of your daily activities that might be preserved for the future?
Analyzing Photographs and Prints
• Now…we will begin to Analyze some Sources!
• Your task is to figure out what each photograph or print is about.
• The Analysis Sheets I provided will help you take logical steps in figuring out what is happening in each source! Just be sure you’re using the correct Analysis Sheet.
• Follow the steps, do not jump ahead or you may miss the point of this assignment.
• Let’s try first one together!
