"How does history become meaningful to students? When they see it as a mystery to be solved, an interpretation to be challenged, and a way to see themselves in the larger fabric of human experience. Authors Peter Seixas and Tom Morton provide a guide to bring powerful understandings of these six historical thinking concepts into the classroom through teaching strategies and model activities. Each chapter begins by featuring where a prominent Canadian author has engaged one of the six concepts while writing a work of popular history or historical fiction."--pub. desc.
