DISCUSSION 2

Do the attach HIS 100 Module Two: Primary and Secondary

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

  • Distinguish between primary and secondary sources.
    • What are the differences between them?
  • Explain why it is important to consult a variety of sources when conducting historical research.
    • Why should you avoid relying only on one type of source? What are the benefits of using a diversity of sources?
  • Identify one primary source that would help investigate your research question.
    • Using the HIS 100 Library Guide in the Shapiro Library, skim through the suggested resources or find your own. Ensure they are credible and relevant to your research question.
  • Identify one secondary source that would help investigate your research question.
    • Using the HIS 100 Library Guide in the Shapiro Library, skim through the suggested resources or find your own. Ensure they are credible and relevant to your research question.
  • Choose a current event related to the subject of your research question and explain how they are connected.
    • Read what you wrote in the previous module’s activity about how your historical topic is relevant to modern society. Using your response and what you have learned thus far about your topic, identify a specific current event that you feel is relevant to your research question. Then explain how the current event is connected to your research question. Keep in mind that the link between your topic and your current event will become clearer as you continue to research.
