Historical Methodology
Today's PPT is posted below. We looked at the ways historians conduct research and evaluate sources for their validity and usefulness. We looked at two examples of historical controversies related to pre-Columbian America. 
HOMEWORK Due 8/16 (A), 8/19 (B)
​Review the "Six Key Concepts of History" handout. Use the digital textbook pages posted below to complete the "Six Concepts" worksheet:

1. Overview http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/era.cfm?eraID=1&smtID=1 
2. Correcting Myths and Misconceptions http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/disp_textbook.cfm?smtID=2&psid=3561
3. Native America on the Eve of Contact http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/disp_textbook.cfm?smtID=2&psid=3565 

As you read, collect notes, reflections, and questions that connect the reading to each of the six key concepts of history. This is an open-ended - what goes in the boxes is up to you as long as you're demonstrating a connection between the First Americans reading and the six concepts of history. 
Send me a Remind message with any questions.
