Historical Thinking.... Exposing students to the power of Inquiry.
Historical Thinking.... Exposing students to the power of Inquiry.
Inquiry lessons introduce students to the "doing" of history. Using evidence to investigate historical questions, students are given the opportunity to see that history is not just a collection of facts, but rather a rigorously constructed set of arguments. As students encounter new and in some cases contradictory evidence, they are asked to reconsider their initial views, learning that interpretations of the past can change based on the available historical evidence. Stanford History Education Group has create lessons that can be used to supplement U.S. History instruction.
