 * Monday, July 11th


 * 1) I think that the more reliable documents are the ones that had careful observers and the greatest expertise in the game of football. BUT they are the ones that didn't hear the news from others, just their point of view of the game.
 * 2) I think that the more unreliable documents are the ones that heard from others or just have a biased view of the game.
 * 3) Some things that all the documents have are that they all have some information or another about the game or some information about the catch by Wilson.
 * 4) Some things that the documents disagreed on are the details of the actual catch and the perpective of the catch.
 * No, I don't think that anyone else could have given a better account. I just think that more detailed reports from the Scout and the Referee would have been more helpful.

Activity 2:

1. What do you think the difference is between a primary and a secondary source? I think that a primary source is the first and the most reliable source whereas the secondary source is the source is the next most reliable. Primary source is evidence of the past but secondary source is the evidence from the primary sources, used to try to figure out the past. 2. How is an historian like a detective? Historians are like detectives because they try to uncover the REAL truth of what happened in history.

Activity 3:

> because I think that it is the basic to determining WHAT is important of the document.
