Sources: Is this a primary or secondary source? A primary source is any source that was created at the time of the historical period that you are investigating. A primary source can be a document, a song, or even an artifact. A secondary source is created after the time period of the event or historical period. A secondary source can be a biography, movie, or textbook.
Audience: Keep in mind each source’s intended audience and why a source was created. People typically write in a diary for their own reading and reflection and do not expect others to view this writing. How does this affect the evidence?

Answer 4

On February 28, 1755, Will Anthony Reported the disappearance of gardening tools from his blacksmith shop.” We have come to believe that the man responsible for this is Matthew Farmer.
The most reliable source that we used was the blacksmith’s diary and this is a primary source. We believe that this is the most reliable source because the blacksmith himself was the one giving us information through the diary. I also believe that the blacksmith wrote this diary to keep for personal reason so this might also be more valuable.
In this case the least reliable source was the photograph drawn by Elizabeth Burr and this is a secondary source. We believe that this is the least reliable source because it was dated 2010 and the crime was not properly depicted. We believe that this picture was meant to be released to the public. In General this picture was not accurate.
