v. Review
What significant lessons have you taken
and applied in yourself from the activities

B. Activity Proper
MOTIVATION
POLL SURVEY
As I read to you the statements,
kindly raise your right hand if that applies to
you.
(Count the number of students who raised
their hands in every statement.)
1. I use the internet as a source to
 know more about my lessons. Students do the activity.
2. I use the books available in our
home and school to know more
about my lessons.
3. I ask my parents, siblings, or any
person that can help me with my lessons.
4. I have other sources.

Ask the following questions:

1. What are the three common sources of
information that you use in your studies?
2. Which is the most used source
according to the poll?
3. Which is the least used source
according to the poll?
4. If you also answered number 4, what
are these sources?

C. Analysis
Ask the following questions
1. How did you find the activity?
2. Are the sources of information important?
Why?
3. What will happen if there are no available
source of information? Do you think people
can still live well? Why?

D. Abstraction
Now, what we’re going to discuss today is
about the Types of sources of information
mainly the primary sources and secondary
sources of information.

So what are they?

First, let us expound more of what a
Primary Source is?
Any idea about Primary Sources?
Exactly, A primary source is an original
object or document; first-hand information.
Primary source is material written or
produced in the
time period that you may be investigating.

Primary sources enable the researcher to

get as close as possible to what actually
happened during an historical event or time
period.
Let see more of its examples
First on our list are Diaries and Journals.
Have you tried to write diaries or journal
entries?

Are you familiar with one of the most

famous world literary work Diary of Anne
Frank?
Can you share something about it?

Exactly, The Diary of a Young Girl, also Yes, Ma’am.

known as The Diary of Anne Frank, is a book
of the writings from the Dutch language diary
Yes! It is a diary where she wrote everything
kept by Anne Frank while she was in hiding
happened to her back in World War II.
for two years with her family during the Nazi
occupation of the Netherlands. The family
was apprehended in 1944, and Anne Frank
died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen
concentration camp in 1945. It is considered
as a primary source because it was published
during the time it happened and there is the
original manuscript of the entries.

Another entry, is Sarah Morgan Dawson: A

Confederate Girl's Diary. Sarah Morgan was
young woman during the Civil War. She
wrote in her diary or journal what happened
to her and her family during the war. This is a
primary document because it was first hand.
She wrote it at the time it happened.

Now let’s move on to Autobiographies?

Another example of a Primary Source.

Do you have an idea of what an

Autobiography is?

Very Good! An autobiography is when you

write a story or book about yourself.

One best example if the Long Walk to

freedom by Nelson Mandela. Nelson
Mandela wrote his autobiography about
events in his life called “Long Walk to
Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson
Mandela.

This is a primary document because he wrote It is when we write a story about ourselves.
his first hand experiences.

Before we move on to our next example, can

you all follow?

Ok, if you feel your life as a human

individual is something that can inspire other
people, try to make an autobiography and
dream it to be
published someday.
Next, we also have Speeches, especially
Inauguration Speeches.

Examples are:
1. Abraham Lincoln’s “Gettysburg
Address” Yes, Ma’am.
2. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream”
3. All of the President’s Inauguration
Speeches.

Historical Documents such as the Declaration

of Independence or the Constitution are
primary documents. They were drafted and
signed.

Other Primary Sources would be:

Birth Certificates
Government records
Deeds
Court documents
Military records
Letters
Sound Recordings
Photographs
Video Recordings
Tax records
Census records
Art

Are we clear with Primary Sources of

Information?

Now let’s move on to Secondary Sources.

What do you think sets the demarcation line

between the two?

Very Good! A secondary source is

something written about a primary source.
Secondary sources are written "after the fact"
- that is, at a later date. Usually the author of
a secondary source will have studied the
primary sources of an historical period or Yes, Ma’am.
event and will then
interpret the "evidence" found in these
sources. You can think of secondary sources
as second-hand information.
Primary Source is the first-handed
Is that clear? information and secondary source is the
second-handed information drawn out from
One best example of that is Biography. Now the primary document or information.
what’s the difference between Biography and
Autobiography?

Very Good! A biography is when you write

about another person’s life. One best example
is Alice Fleming who wrote a biography on
the life of Martin Luther King Jr. This is a
secondary document. It was written about
him after he died. And this is considered as a
Secondary Source of Information.

Now, how about Newspaper and Magazine

articles? Can it be considered as a primary or
secondary sources? Yes, Ma’am.

If the article was written at the time
something happened, then it is a primary
source. And again if an article was written
late year after something happened then it is
secondary source.
When we write something about our life it’s
autobiography and when we write about
other’s life that’s considered to be as
biography.

Think about it like this….

If I tell you something, I am the primary
source. If you tell someone else what I told
you, you are the secondary source.

Secondary Source materials can be articles in

newspapers, magazines, books or articles
found that evaluate or criticize someone
else's original research. Are we clear class?

Tertiary Sources Yes, Ma’am.

These serve as collection of primary and
secondary sources.

E. Application
Now, form groups of 8. You will be given set
of images which you can get some sort of
information about something. All you need to
do is to evaluate and label each image or
picture as Primary or Secondary source and
tell why.
Is that clear?

*The following images will be given to

students in this activity*

1. A page from a Pre-Historic Encyclopaedia.

Yes, Ma’am.

2. One entry in Anne Frank’s Diary.

 Yes, Ma’am.

3. Photograph of Nurses in Parker, 1944. Secondary Source

The article is based from research and
artifacts of the extinction of dinosaurs.

The photo was taken the time when it
happened in 1994 somewhere in Parker.
