Primary Vs Secondary Source Cards

About this printable

This A4 printable provides labelled, illustrated cards split into Primary Sources (blue) and Secondary Sources (green) with short definitions and dashed cut lines. It's designed to help learners practice identifying and justifying whether an item is a primary or secondary source, and to prompt basic source evaluation using the 'Think like a historian' questions at the bottom. Use it as a hands-on sorting task, a quick formative check, or as stimulus for evidence-based inquiry.
