    Hello everyone

    Someone was asking me the other day about finding primary sources for your research and how difficult it is to find them. You can use Aristotle, Herodotus, Xenophon and Thucydides as primary sources as well as any others you can think of (please post them below if you think of them). To get a hold of their works, search within our group bookmarks (or my bookmarks) on diigo for "primary sources" or you could just go to the Internet Ancient History Sourcebook (http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/ancient/asbook07.html and go to 'Athenian Democracy') which is excellent.

    If anyone has any other solutions to help people out, please post them below.

    Good luck!

    Mr Hilton.

    Excuse me Mr. Hilton, I'm having trouble finding primary sources that give me information on Athenian democracy, do you know about any that could be useful? Aristotle was useful, and Thucydides provided some information on Athenian democracy, but I couldn't find anything from the other sources you listed that is relevant to Task B.

    Go to the link above, Erik. It has heaps of links for Athenian Democracy primary sources. Look carefully and you'll find things you can use as evidence.

    Good luck!

    Mr Hilton.

    Hello again munchkins!

    I've posted up a sheet going through some ways to evaluate sources in your essay without messing with your 'flow'. Go to scoodle and have a look at it for some tips on making your essay writing better.

    Good luck!
