HISTORICAL SCENE INVESTIGATION

The National Center for History in the Schools (NCHS) provides standards challenging teachers to design experiences in which students:

*to raise questions and to marshal solid evidence in support of their answers
*to go beyond the facts presented in their textbooks and examine the historical record for themselves
*to consult documents, journals, diaries, artifacts, historic sites, works of art, quantitative data, and other evidence from the past, and to do so imaginatively--taking into account the historical context in which these records were created and comparing the multiple points of view of those on the scene at the time.
