So today we introduced the idea of Reading Like a Historian to our students, and all I can say is WOW. Each of the classes had some really engaging discussions about how we know about the past and how social scientist gather evidence to support or refute claims. Students provided many great examples of making claims and supporting claims in their day to day activities, and even gave some great examples of claims from actual historical events. Students also did a great job of following along and taking notes during the Reading Like a Historian note taking activity. Be advised though, there may be a POP QUIZ tomorrow at the start of class. Finally, students should be bringing home copies of informational materials that you will need to read over, sign, and return to class:
