What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Compare Winslow's 1621 letter with a 1914 painting of the feast as evidence. The directions on the page read: Read both sources about the 1621 feast at Plymouth. You will compare them on page 2. An answer key is included.
Can I use this primary and secondary sources worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 7th grade Sources, Data and Research Skills, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.
What is a primary source?
⌄
A primary source is made at the time of the events or by someone who lived through them.
What is a non-historical source?
⌄
It is made for fun or sales, with no aim of showing the past, like a fantasy film.
Why is a letter from 1621 stronger evidence than a painting from 1914?
⌄
The letter was written closer to the feast by a colonist who was there.
