What Process Do Historians Use to Investigate the Past? Unit 1 Lesson 5 What Process Do Historians Use to Investigate the Past?

Historical Inquiry

Historical Inquiry

How do historians decide what historical problem to investigate? If you had the opportunity to explore anything that happened in the past, how would you decide what to explore?

Identify a topic of interest Revolutions Raise questions about the topic What is a revolution? Why do they happen? Where have they happened? Do Internet research, read documents, interview an expert, etc Research to refine a question Frame a historical problem What effect did the American Revolution have on other revolutions?

Historical Inquiry

Why do historians have to select and organize sources? Why can’t they just use everything they find?

ACTIVITY

Was the account easy to understand? Why or why not? DISCUSSION Was the account easy to understand? Why or why not? How is the account organized? Why do you think the writer included an earthquake in Europe? A baseball game? Was the account internally consistent? How do you know? Why must historians SELECT and ORGANIZE evidence?

Historical Inquiry

In selecting sources does it matter who created the source?

Lesson Summary Historians investigate the past by (1) framing problems to study, (2) selecting and analyzing available evidence, (3) organizing their information, and (4) creating the account. In answering the historical problem, historians analyze the available evidence by paying attention to who created the evidence and then use other sources to check it against. Historical problems or questions help historians select, analyze, and organize information. Historical accounts represent the historians’ best answers to the historical problems given the evidence they have.
