What questions would you like to ask
about the primary sources above?
A primary source
is something old that tells
us about life in the past. It can be an old tool,
a statue, some jewelry,
or a board game that
people had in the past. History books that we
read in school are not primary sources. This is
because the writers of school books didn’t live
at the time they are writing about.
We can learn
about the past by asking
questions about primary sources. We can ask:
What did people use this tool for? Who made
this statue and why did they make it? What
is this jewelry made of? How did people play
this board game?
When
we can answer these
questions, we learn about life in the past.
