Benjamin is giving a presentation about World War I. He wants to use a movie clip of a war scene and interview his neighbor whose great uncle fought in World War I. Write a paragraph explaining why Benjamin should rethink using these sources, and what he should use to replace them.(4 points)

Benjamin should rethink his sources because they are secondary sources. His neighbors' great uncle was in WWI, not his neighbor and information can change from source to source. Instead, Benjamin should ask someone who has been in WWI, notebooks from soilders, published books, or photographs. These are primary sources. These will help give Benjamin an accurate answer.

Benjamin should rethink the use of these sources because they do not offer a first-hand account of the war, that is, they are not primary sources.

What are primary sources?

Reports from people who witnessed a particular event.
Documents showing the event that was happening.

Primary sources tell stories lived by their interlocutors and for this reason, they are more reliable and relevant sources. For Benjamin to access a primary source, he would have to interview someone who participated in the first world war.

However, Benjamin is interviewing someone who knows a person who participated in the war. This is an example of a secondary source, which shows an adapted account that may have been modified, so it is less reliable.
