 Thesis construction & written responses  Source analyses

 The Learning History is not simply to memorize facts!  Teach/learn skills to engage in the “practice” of history... “do history” by applying skills to better understand historical themes, course objectives & succeed in other endeavors of life! 1. Chronology: (Historical Causation, CCOT, Periodization; aka: “What belongs when?) 2. Compare & Contrast 3. Context: Connect historical events to specific circumstances of time, place & region. Cannot always evaluate based upon our perspective.

4. Historical Argument: Create a clear, analytical thesis, supported by accurate, relevant facts. 5. Interpretation & Synthesis: MOST CHALLENGING!!  Analyzing why sources/interpretations vary  Apply understanding of the past to develop new understanding  Take diverse & varying sources/evidence & analyze to answer a question.  How do other disciplines impact history?  How does past impact today? 
