One secondary source from your life.

**Remember, secondary sources are items created after an event occurred, using primary sources as references. For your secondary source you might want to ask an adult about an event that happened in your life that you were too young to remember. Then you will write out a short story about that event. This story then becomes a secondary source since you are retelling an event using the adult as the primary source for reference.

A timeline from your life.

**Your timeline should include at least five important events in your life. You should write a 1—2 sentence description of each event and include photos or illustrations.
