Question
- what is the best example of a primary source ellis could use for information about a tornado that happened yesterday?
a meteorologist who specializes in tornados
a newspaper article about a tornado that hit the same region seven years ago
an interview with a person who witnessed the tornado
a documentary about the devastation caused by a tornado
A primary source is a firsthand account or evidence from the time of the event. A meteorologist specializing in tornadoes may not have witnessed this specific tornado (so not primary for this event). A newspaper article about a past tornado or a documentary are secondary (analyzing/retelling). An interview with a witness is a firsthand account of the yesterday's tornado, making it a primary source.
