Learn how to help your students “think like historians” in this engaging course! Challenge students to consider relevant questions about the past, investigate sources to address these questions, and formulate their own evidence-based arguments. Discover how to use primary and secondary sources to explore key historical thinking concepts with your students, including causality, change and consistency over time, and multiperspectivity. Filled with examples and sample units from the author’s own teaching experiences, you’ll learn how to bring these exciting historical investigations into your middle and high school classroom, and help your students develop universal critical thinking skills. When students actively engage in historical investigations--the way real historians do--they find that American history is not just the memorization of names and dates; it’s challenging and fun!
