| History's Mysteries... | ||
| What was life like? Who lived back then? What happened? | ||
| These are the mysteries historians try to solve. They solve these mysteries by examining primary sources. Try your hand at solving some historical mysteries as you follow these three steps: | ||
| 1. | Examine the evidence: Inspect primary sources and discover the connections between them. How does each source document tell part of a story? What information do they give you? What's missing? | |
| 2. | Build a case: Use what you've discovered to form a conclusion about how these sources are connected. What story do they tell? | |
| 3. | Compare your conclusion: See if your conclusion agrees with what a professional historian thinks. Did you reach a different conclusion? What questions remain unanswered? | |
