Year 9
Today you are going to start our final “topic” in the Year 9 History course. We are going to look at The Use of Sources in History.
Follow the instructions step by step:
1.
First of all, let’s make sure that you know what is meant by “a source”.
What is a ‘source’?
“A source is something that provides information about the historical topic you are studying. They can either be written (e.g. books or websites), or non-written (e.g. photographs or artefacts). No matter what you’re doing in History, you will use sources. This could be simply learning information from a textbook or website, or actually looking at ancient artefacts made in the past. Either way, they provide information about the past and are considered ‘sources of information’.”
