Teaching About Historical Thinking

This resource focuses on six interrelated concepts central to students' ability to think about history. These core concepts are: historical significance, evidence, continuity and change, cause and consequence, historical perspective, and moral judgement. The nature and importance of each concept is discussed as are the problems associated with helping students understand them. The resource offers specific suggestions for introducing the concepts to students and for applying them throughout the history curriculum. An extended teaching example illustrates how these  concept work in tandem as students learn to think critically about history. (107 pp.)
