Exercise 1: Identifying Primary and Secondary Source Name:

Determine if the source would be a Primary Source (P) or a Secondary Source (S).

● A Primary Source is an eyewitness account or a testimony by a person directly involved in the event; or
it must have been produced by a contemporary of the event it narrates or an information that was
created at the same as an event.
e.g. Diaries, letters, legal and official documents, speeches, autobiographies

● A Secondary Source is information from somewhere else or by a person not directly involved in the
event; it interprets and analyzes primary sources.
e.g. Textbooks, encyclopedias, printed materials which interprets previous research
