Classwork: We have finished the Atahualpa and the Bible Questions.  Hopefully it helped with today's writing prompt of "What document would help you understand what happened with Atahualpa and the Bible and explain why you think it is credible?" 

Homework:  The take away you should discuss with parents is this:
When trying to determine the truth of something, go for a Primary Source first.  Of course, primary sources can be inaccurate (flawed) because of reasons we've stated before.  A primary source can lie, be incorrectly perceiving something, not have the full picture, and be biased.  But you have to start somewhere.  If you can't have a primary source, then use a secondary source.  In research, you should use both.  Finally, try and get at least two sides of a story.
