Today's homework is very difficult and several students have already said that they don't understand, so I will explain in more detail here.
This is simple. Students have two sheets of paper listing several types of sources. They just need to decide if the source is a primary source or a secondary source.
This is harder. First, you will need to know what the Bill of Rights is. You need to research it. Look online and find some information. (Hint: It is an important document in the foundation of America).
Once you know what it is, you will then need to decide what a primary source would be (Hint: probably a picture of the original document, unless you can go to America overnight, steal it from Washington D.C. overnight and bring it back).
You should then find a secondary source. This could be absolutely anything that talks about, discusses, interprets or analyses the Bill of Rights.
Good luck!

Primary vs. Secondary Sources
The materials, evidence, or data used in your research are known as sources. As important parts of your research, these sources of information are put into two groups: primary and secondary.
What is a primary source?
A primary source is an original object or document -- the raw material or first-hand information. Primary sources include historical and legal documents, eyewitness accounts, results of experiments, statistical data, pieces of creative writing, and art objects.
Some types of primary sources include:
ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS: Diaries, speeches, manuscripts, letters, interviews, news film footage, autobiographies, official records
CREATIVE WORKS: Poetry, drama, novels, music, art
RELICS OR ARTIFACTS: Pottery, furniture, clothing, buildings
What is a secondary source?
A secondary source is something written about a primary source. Secondary sources include comments on, or discussions about the original material. You can think of secondary sources as second-hand information. If I tell you something, I am the primary source. If you tell someone else what I told you, you are the secondary source. Secondary source materials can be articles in newspapers or popular magazines, book or movie reviews, or articles found in scholarly journals that discuss or evaluate someone else's original research.
Some types of secondary sources include:
PUBLICATIONS: Textbooks, magazine articles, histories, criticisms, commentaries, encyclopedias
Examples of secondary sources include:
A journal/magazine article which interprets or reviews previous findings
A history textbook
A book about the effects of WWI
