Historical Thinking Concepts
Evidence: How do we know what we know about the past?
Guidepost 1: History is an interpretation based on inferences made from primary sources.
Guidepost 3: Analysis includes sourcing: finding out about when and why the source was created and by whom.
Guidepost 4: A source should be analyzed in relation to its context; the conditions and worldviews prevalent at the time.
Guidepost 5: Corroborating inferences from a single source with information from other primary or secondary sources is part of evidence analysis.
