Using+Documents

media type="custom" key="10061447" I think the newspaper reporter and the referee are reliable because the newspaper reporter have a good sense to what is going on and the referee was the judge of it making it a big resposiblity for him to observe the whole game in person. The newsreporter investigates to finds a more real story to fill the readers a whole story of both sides. The reciever who got the pass, the opposing defense, both coaches of the verses, and the cheerleader are unreliable because they only show their own sides and bringing in most of their opinions of why or why not they won. They all show a bias to it and bringing only thier comments instead of what is really going on in the game. All the documents agree on that Malden won the football game by a catch and Medford loses. It was a fair game, the Malden receiver got the talent, and the game play was a really good match. I think that there are other people that could give a better account to what is happening and I think that it is the one who videotaped the game. It shows what is there with problems going on about.
 * Activity #1:**
 * Which document(s) do you think are **reliable**? Why?
 * Which document(s) do you think are **unreliable**? Why?
 * What are somethings that all documents agree on?
 * What are somethings that the documents disagree about?
 * Are there any other people that could have given a better account of what happened?

1. What do you think the difference is between a primary and a secondary source? Primary source is the the orginal document that comes from the actual witness of an event and a secondary source is like from a historian who view the facts of history and wrote them in their view. Secondary is from when historians write their own documents that was from the primary source. 2. How is an historian like a detective? They have to look through and research on a topic they are investigating. Many documents and maybe some interviewing that they may need to accomplish what questions they need to be answered. They look up for clues to the story to try to solve what is actually the fact or fiction, organizing the events and find out for themselves. ﻿ They ask some main and common questions to see what the document is from and why is it there. They then uses them to make their own document but as a secondary source.

 * Activity #3: Let's Investigate **


 * 1) **Who wrote or made it?**
 * 2) **When was it written or made?**
 * 3) **Where was it written or made?**
 * 4) **Why was it written or made?**
 * 5) **What point is the author or creator trying to make?**
 * 6) **What evidence does this source contribute to your research?**

**In your virtual notebook** : The six questions are important to an historian's work because it helps organize what information are you implying as. If the historian is trying to write their own document for a specific reader or audience, they will have to tag their information to where it was orignally from. They can not take the other sources for themselves because that would be called plagarisim. Knowing the author, when it was published, the main idea, and the helpful hints it shows are very important because it helps on the historian's objective. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">I think all of the questions are very important because I once was doing a group project and we have fill out the information on what document or resources we are doing. During the presentation, it helps me and the rest of the group organize our thoughts when we are being questions to how we come up with our thesis. Every of those questions havea goal to achieve so I can not really say the most important because they are all important. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">﻿I think the last question is the most important because if are doing the investigation or research project on a particular subject and we are looking at some sources to find something related, it helps us with organizing what is there or not. Like if we are just saving up some resources, and none of them is not really helpful to our research, we're screwed basically. <span style="color: #800000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">﻿(Historians are trying to find new sources)
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">**Explain** why these questions are important to an historian's work?
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">**Identify** which question you feel is the most important to an historians work and **explain** why

 * Summarizing Activity #5: 3 - 2 - 1**
 * Three Things I learned today:**
 * 1) Historians try to find some new facts to add into their document.
 * 2) There are alot of things to do when researching on something they are wanting to discuss on a topic.
 * 3) Most documents are from alot of primary resources because readers want the original to persuade what the writer wants to prove.
 * 4) Why isn't there any documents that show more secondary sources?
 * 5) How far does historians look through of what they are trying to show?
 * 6) I would like to learn more about how historians do and operate.


 * Activity #6**
 * Primary Source:
 * the original diary of Anne Frank
 * The Declaration of Independance
 * A diary of Adolf Hitler "Mein Kamf" || Secondary Source:
 * a novel that is edited "A diary of Anne Frank"
 * A poster of the Declaration of Independance
 * a book in english translation of Hitler's well known diary ||

 * Activity #7**
 * **__World War II: Europe__**

Both primary and secondary sources are essential to the work of an historian because it provides information and evidence to his/her research. Knwoing the original works or documents, anything, can make the reader notice that it is a fact not fiction. For the secondary sources, it can help out the point of view from many sides, maybe it can help focus to what the modern world sees it afterwords. Not too much of the secondary but it is useful to the work because most of the readers do not want someone else idea to the work and it won't add more deep and detailed evidence. For example, if it is in a textbook it could only show little information. If the research can be more throughout evidence.The primary and the secondary sources are very useful to the historians because they are the main object into the work of researching.
 * Activity #8 : Reflection**

When looking at a Primary Source, you have to observe, reflect, and question on a document. When observing, you have see a few of the small things and find something that is interesting to the topic or something that you might not fully understand. If there are any questions, that you have trouble answering yourself, you need to go back and see of you miss something earlier and read back carefully to find out the answer. Reflecting is like finding out why the source is made up to and what is suppose to tell you about. It is also like an APPARTS chart, knowing who made it, what is it made for, who is the audience implying to this, the main and all the other main and common important points. It can also be an prediction for us to think about, such as "What can this be used for today?". Those can be the questioning and then the answering.
