Start your year off right! The summer assignment will help you prepare for not only history, but also 10th grade.
ERAS OF HISTORY
Be an explorer and navigate the website by clicking buttons, links, and reading the pages. A WORD OF CAUTION: The assignment asks you what you know already, not what you need to know. That will be clarified as the year goes on.
PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SOURCES
WHAT ARE PRIMARY SOURCES?
Go to this site about primary sources and read page 3.

WHERE CAN I FIND AND READ PRIMARY SOURCES FOR FREE?
Fordham University's Primary Sourcebook is amazing.
WHERE CAN I FIND AND READ SOME SECONDARY SOURCES?
Shaggy from Scooby-Doo says: "Like, anywhere, man! Zoinks!"
Google Scholar is also pretty great, but sometimes not free.

WORLDS OF HISTORY
WHAT THE HECK IS THE 4 WORLDS OF HISTORY?
Its a way we categorize ideas, people, groups, and events. There are four sections: politics, economics, society, and culture. AKA, PECS (because historical analysis needs to work out its PECS to be strong!)
CAN I GET SOME MORE INFORMATION ON THIS 4 WORLDS THING?
Sure. This power point and this activity are pretty helpful.
WHAT ABOUT A GUIDE OR A GRAPHIC ORGANIZER?
Yeah, check it out!
