3 Reasons Why History Matters

  1. History is the story of us. It defines us - who we are, where we’ve been, where we’re going
  2. History includes true stories of real heroes, real villains, and real-life adventures
  3. History is a mystery. New discoveries help us understand the past, our present, and our future.

How do we know what we know about

history/the past when we were not there?

Primary sources are first-hand pieces of evidence from people who saw or experienced the events described. Primary sources include written documents, such as letters, diaries, and official records.

Secondary sources are created after the events. They are created by people who were not part of the historical event. The information in secondary sources is partially based on primary sources. Examples of secondary sources include biographies, history books, and textbooks.

Primary and Secondary Sources

Analyzing Sources

  1. Who created the source?
  2. Why was the source created - what was its purpose and for whom was it written/created?
  3. What is the source about?
  4. When was the source created?
  5. How was the source created?
  6. Is the source a primary or secondary source?

14 of 28

Credibility

  • Are facts supported with evidence?
  • Is the language objective and not emotional?
  • Can the same information be found in another source?
  • Is the source’s creator reputable, or does he or she have credentials that would suggest credibility?
  • Does the author or speaker acknowledge other viewpoints?
  • Is the source biased?

Let’s explore like an archeologist

20

Imagine the world in 1000 years from now. You are one of the members in a team of archeologists. You have come with you team to explore India which is buried in ruins.

​

With your team, find out

  • What are some artifacts you are likely to find?
  • From these artifacts, reconstruct the different characteristics of the Indian civilisation in the 21st century
  • What are some things/ practices from this civilisation that are still used in your world?

Individually,

  • Choose any three artifacts you found in your excavation
  • Describe them in as much detail as possible. Remember you are from the future so you don’t know what the artifact was called, what it was used for etc. Be as descriptive as possible to help others understand what it looks like.

( Hint : Use your 5 senses , ‘ Show don’t tell’ and ‘ Create clues for your reader ‘ strategy.

21 of 28

  • Artifacts chosen explain the life of the people
  • Artifacts show what ideas that can be used in future
