{wwii_letter.jpg} primary or secondary?
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.
OBSERVE, REFLECT, QUESTION
find something little but that catches your interest then looks for something you didnt notice at first. then you think what, when, who, how. then you asks the questions of what, when, who, how.
{Obama+DBQ - markups.pdf}

Perspective/ how someone is viewing something; "everyone views things from a different perspective"
Point of View/ how someone is viewing something; "what's your point of view for this topic"
primary sources/ first hand documents or artifacts from an event
secondary sources/ documents or artifacts made after the fact that use facts from a primary source to better explain what happened.

Imply/Infer:they are similar because neither is a definite; they are different because implying is when you know something but dont exactly say it and infering is like taking a guess at something

a gun from WWII would be a primary source but a replication of a WWII gun would be a secondary source.
