Uncovering the Past: Analyzing Primary Sources

Set of 20 titles
  • Interest Level: Grade 5 - Grade 8
  • Reading Level: Grade 5

History is in the past, but the way we view it is always changing. Six important titles have been added to this remarkable series that looks at how evidence from the past, such as historical documents, eye-witness accounts, newspaper articles, and photographs, is used to describe historical events and is constantly reexamined over time. The series looks at well-known and well-documented events in history and gives insight into: why evidence is created and by whom; how it can be analyzed and interpreted in various ways; and how controversies in history can develop. Readers will learn the difference between primary and secondary evidence, and see how both are used to describe what happened in the past, who was involved, and what the outcome was. Readers will learn about bias, prejudice, and the denial of evidence, and learn how to use critical thinking in their own examinations. The series also looks at present-day examples of similar events and discusses how evidence shows that history repeats itself.
