Learning steps & teaching tips
Match a question to a relevant record or firsthand account.
- Ask when a source was made and what it can directly show; one source rarely answers every question.
- Work through the example. Explain how its evidence supports the answer.
- Try a new question; use the explanation to check your thinking.
Try it together
