Research Strategy
Research Strategy
You will need to cite both PRIMARY and SECONDARY sources in your project
Primary Sources - Raw and unedited sources that give a firsthand account of a specific event from the time period when it occurred. CLOSEST TO THE ORIGIN OF INFORMATION. (Examples: diary entries, correspondences, photographs, memoirs, historical newspapers, speeches, cartoons, videos, artifacts, etc.)
Secondary Sources - These give an overview of the topic. Often analyzing, interpreting, or summarizing. RELATE TO INFORMATION THAT ORIGINATED ELSEWHERE. (Examples: reference/encyclopedia articles, textbooks, magazine articles, etc.)
