What does it mean to be a historian? What do historians do? Why is it important to have an experience of being a historian? :
The historian interprets the evidence, deciding on the degree of its importance and accuracy. This is done by applying logic and "best guesses      " to knowledge about the people and their times.

Historians
  • Examine written records to understand the past
  • Students should be able to: Think chronologically, understand historical events, analyze historical documents, conduct historical research
Task of Artifact Bag:

Think and make predictions-who is/are in the pictures; what country the artifacts are from;when, where the events might happen; who the person is etc. What else can you say about the person?

Observe:
  • What do you notice first?
  • Find something small but interesting,.
  • What do you notice that you didn't expect?
  • What do you notice that you can't explain?
  • What do you notice now that you didn't earlier?
