 * ACTIVITY #1**

I thought the referee and the college scout documents were reliable because their job demands them to be neutral and make it demands them to make fair judgment based on the player's perfomances. I also thought the newspaper article was reliable because it described the play really well. The newspaper isn't reliable because the reporter wasn't there and her might be exaggarating the information so he can sell newspapers I think the Malden high cheerleader, the defensive back documents were unreliable because the cheerleader doesn't sound like she knows a lot about football, and the defensive back is bias because Donnell was able to get by him and he was on the opposing team.  All the documents agree on the fact that Malden won and Donnell made the catch The documents disagree on how the play was executed, was it talent? or was it luck? If a professional football player was present I think their perspective might be neutral just like the referee, and the college scout.
 * Which document(s) do you think are **reliable**? Why?
 * Which document(s) do you think are **unreliable**? Why?
 * What are somethings that all documents agree on?
 * What are somethings that the documents disagree about?
 * Are there any other people that could have given a better account of what happened?


 * ACTIVITY #2**

1. What do you think the difference is between a primary and a secondary source? I think a primary source could be from the person who experienced the event, or a person who was there, or the person who wrote it. A secondary source could be from a person who heard the story. A primary source isevidence from the subject like a diary written a long time ago a secondary source is the analysis that the historian gets from the primary source. 2. How is an historian like a detective? A historian is like a detective because they look at the evidence and decide if it is credible, they look at the different perspectives so they can understand what happened.

**Below are some basic questions you should ask about sources:**
 * ACTIVITY #3**

These questions are important because as a historian you want to know as much as possible as you can about the document before you make a conclusion about it or before you make a secondary source from it. The questions help you get information about the primary source, and events took place so that the primary source can be created. I think the most important question to historian's is **question number 4 " Why was it written or made?"** because there has to be a purpose behind the creation of the primary source. Historians would like know why the primary source was made. which leads them to more questions that will require more answers.
 * 1) **Who wrote or made it?**
 * 2) **When was it written or made?**
 * 3) **Where was it written or made?**
 * 4) **Why was it written or made?**
 * 5) **What point is the author or creator trying to make?**
 * 6) **What evidence does this source contribute to your research?**

ACTIVITY #4 Primary Sources

 * Oral histories

Secondary Sources

3. secondary sources are made by historians by gathering information about and from the primary sources how to decide what really happened at an event from the perspective of different people some questions to ask when trying to figure out information about primary sources 2. How do you answer some of the questions about sources if you have an artifact? what are unpublished documents? 1.where can we fond primary sources

 * ACTIVITY #8 REFLECTION**

Primary and Secondary sources are essential to historians because they help them figure out important events. Primary sources help historians identify time periods, the material that was available during that time period, and what the primary source was used for. Historians then use their analysis of the primary sources to write secondary sources. Secondary sources are also made so they can be available to people instead of using the fragile authentic primary source. Both sources are helpful when historians are answering questions about the primary source.

**OBSERVE,REFLECT, AND QUESTION**


When investigationg a primary document it is important to observe,reflect, and question. looking for details is important and it helps make a hypotheisis and it helps one find answers to who? what? where? when? why? and how?.
