Hi everyone,
Today in class, we started by taking a check-in to measure our knowledge of the ten key vocab words associated with Historical Thinking. I hope you are starting to recognize these terms when you see them!
We had some fun sharing our opinions about a number of different questions, some silly ones and some more serious. Then we looked at opinions as a topic, and how some opinions require support from evidence to be valid, while others are based solely on what we like and don't like. As we move forward this year, we will be emphasizing valid reasoning - meaning, I will want you to have supporting information behind your arguments to explain why you feel the way you do. We also talked about how historical events can be based on beliefs and opinions that we know now are not valid, because evidence gathered over time has proven or disproven them.
HOMEWORK: The second part of the check-in is due tomorrow. You can use the vocab handout to help you. If you lost it, it is linked below.
