Utah Studies--Friday, September 4, 2009

I forgot AGAIN to post!  So I will explain the last TWO days.

Yesterday I demonstrated how cause and effect rules our world.  Then we discussed various reasons why people should study history.  

Today, we did an activity designed to show students how historians are like detectives because historians use evidence and witnesses to solve historical mysteries.  Also we discussed the difference between a primary source ("eyewitness") and a secondary source ("anyone besides the eyewitnesses").  DUE TUESDAY:  Nothing, but it's not a bad idea to study the 6 Historian Skills definitions we've learned so far since there will be a quiz on them on Wednesday.
