History as an Interpretation of Events
• Since history requires humans to record, report, and share its happenings, we must always consider the different perspectives that human beings bring to the explanation of events.

![Page 17: History as an Interpretation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815ff3550346895dcef2f7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What is a secondary source?
• These sources are one or more steps removed from the event. These types of sources interpret or review a historical event or previous findings about it.
• Some types of secondary sources include: A history textbook or a book about the effects of WWI

• Primary sources include: ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS (excerpts or translations acceptable): Diaries, speeches, manuscripts, letters, interviews, news film footage, autobiographies, official records
