About this video:
When researching, there are two main types of information sources: primary and secondary sources. Understanding the difference between them and how to use them can help make your projects more thorough and accurate.
What it Teaches:
This video looks back at a big event in history: The Great Storm (England, 1703). It asks the question - how do we know what we know about this storm? This question is answered by explaining primary and secondary sources. It teaches:
- Why sources matter in establishing facts and information
- What represents a primary source and how to use them
- Why primary sources may present an incomplete picture
- What represents a secondary source
- How primary and secondary sources may contribute to the best understanding
Join the Common Craft Council
Common Craft's future depends on member feedback and we've created the Common Craft Council to help.
From time-to-time, we will email surveys, questions, invitations and more to Common Craft members who have subscribed to Council email updates. Our hope is to continually improve Common Craft by working more closely with this group of members on a semi-regular basis.
The Cut-out Library Now Contains over 1500 Cut-outs!
Our library of "Common Craft Style" Cut-outs continues to grow and search is the best way to find what you need. Give it a try. Add Cut-outs to presentations, documents, videos and more. They are designed to make your media more visually compelling.
Here's a hint - you can search by color to find characters that match. For example, here are all the "blue" Cut-outs.
