See How History vs. History Works!

Studying Historical Writing

After an initial section that introduces historiography, thought-provoking lessons are designed to spark discussion and debate, requiring students to formulate and defend theories.

Interacting with Text

Students experience and understand the practice of historiography by reading textbook excerpts from different eras or nations. Students compare and analyze the excerpts, supporting their answers to questions using specific textual evidence.
