 =__**Primary vs. Secondary Sources ** __= = = From Charleston Library website : [] A **primary source** is a document or physical object which was written or **created during the time under study**. Primary sources enable researchers to get as close as possible to what actually happened during an historical event and or time period. Examples include: A **secondary source** interprets and analyzes primary sources. These sources are one or more steps removed from the event. Secondary sources may have pictures, quotes or graphics of primary sources in them. Examples include textbooks, magazine articles, histories, criticisms, commentaries, and encyclopedias.
 * English 3U Ms. Landry ** **Library Research Path : TED Talks**
 * __Items for consideration __**
 * This is a passionate “Talk” with a thesis, so you are arguing a particular stance. With this in mind, you should be critical about the research articles you use. Look carefully at the authors or organizations that are accountable for the material and **__assess the bias__**. You may choose to use an article which opposes your stance and deconstruct the argument suggesting that there is extreme bias and illogical or misleading information.
 * Look for articles and **__research that is unique__** – this helps to engage your audience. It is easy to discuss what the audience already knows. It is more difficult to introduce new perspectives and entice your audience to challenge their own thinking.
 * Make sure all your sources are relevant and current and that any older sources you use are still applicable to today’s local and global environment. As new laws are passed, new scientific and technological breakthroughs are introduced, and social and economic trends change, **__you must be careful to use current information to substantiate your speaking points.__**
 * **You may choose to bring in older information such as case studies, historical events, etc. to develop your argument. **
 * **__Use both primary and secondary sources __**<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> to create your talk. You must have a minimum of THREE primary sources and ONE secondary source for a total of a minimum of FOUR sources.
 * <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS (excerpts or translations acceptable): **CASE STUDIES,** Diaries, speeches, manuscripts, letters, interviews, news film footage, autobiographies, official records
