 * 1) I think that documents 6,7,and 8 are reliable because they show an unbiased opinion and they had credibility within football.
 * 2) i think documents 5,4,3,2,and 1 are unreliable because they have bias views on the game and the player.
 * 3) majority of the documents agree that the ball was caught by Donell except document 5.
 * 4) something that are disagreed on is whether the ball was caught or not, and how great the catch was or not.
 * 5) i think that anyone that watched the game but didn't really care too much about who won and didn't have a bias opinion would of been a good witness.

1. What do you think the difference is between a primary and a secondary source? - Primary sources are straight from someone involved and a secondary source is someone that heard about it or didn't fully see what happened. a primary source is something that was straight from someone involved, a secondary source is a document written from someone else using facts from the primary source. ﻿2. How is an historian like a detective? - Historians are like detectives because they have to use the facts to figure out who is telling the truth, who is lying, who is being bias, they really have to dig for information.


 * **Explain** why these questions are important to an historian's work?
 * **Identify** which question you feel is the most important to an historians work and **explain** why

 -those questions are important because it helps the historian to make sure the document is credible and able to be used.  -i think the most important question is "who wrote it?" i think this because it tells you whether or not you are reading a primary source or a secondary source.

primary and secondary sources are very important to historians it's what they base all of their facts off of and where they get the facts from. without them historians wouldn't have a clue on what has happened. Primary sources are a little more important because they are telling a first hand experiences so you get a better sense of how people were feeling during a situation. secondary sources are better for analyzing a topic because they already do it for you but u can go into further detail with it.
