In this unit, we will examine the process of historical inquiry and learn discipline-specific tools and thinking skills that historians use to uncover the past. We will use the "Reading Like a Historian" and "Thinking Like a Historian" frameworks to define the steps of historical inquiry. You will also learn and practice strategies for reading, interpreting, analyzing, and evaluating a variety of primary and secondary source texts. Content for this unit will include a historical case study of Gandhi and India's independence movement. The foundational skills that you learn during this unit will be used again during our second unit, the History Day Project, in which you will research a historical topic of your choice.
