Reading like a historian means we are reading with a PURPOSE. We aren’t reading just because we are told to. There is meaning within the text that we need to understand and use. The most crucial skills are content knowledge, comprehension, and connecting. The challenge that I see the most is the variety that is available for primary sources in history that represent the people from each time period... it’s HARD to understand 1600’s word selection, articles from the constitution, and slave narratives in southern dialect. Although secondary sources are easier they don’t always provide the most “real” point of view. ]]> 2018-02-12 21:23:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sloana11/5eyeqzj0tlt5/wish/230839039 https://padlet.com/sloana11/5eyeqzj0tlt5/wish/230839338 2018-02-12 21:24:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sloana11/5eyeqzj0tlt5/wish/230839338 https://padlet.com/sloana11/5eyeqzj0tlt5/wish/230841597 The most critical skills to read effectively as a historian are understanding cause and effect, inferencing and understanding vocabulary using primary resources]]> 2018-02-12 21:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sloana11/5eyeqzj0tlt5/wish/230841597 https://padlet.com/sloana11/5eyeqzj0tlt5/wish/230842394 The challenge to historical reading is the complexity of our primary sources]]> 2018-02-12 21:35:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sloana11/5eyeqzj0tlt5/wish/230842394
