Why study history?
What questions do we ask of the past?
How do we know what happened in the past?
What sources are reliable?
Historical significance: What and who should be remembered, researched and taught?
Evidence and interpretation: Is the evidence credible and adequate to support the
conclusions reached?
Continuity and change: How are lives and conditions alike over time and how have they changed?
Cause and consequence: Why did historical events happen the way they did and what are the consequences?
Historical perspective: What does past look like when viewed through lenses of the time?
Ethical judgment: Is what happened right and fair?
