This class is designed to provide young students with an opportunity to learn to think historically and critically.  We will spend our time thinking, discussing, and understanding historical topics/ideas and information pertinent to modern historical theories that will explain how to study and learn history. Furthermore, students will learn how to raise important historical questions and understand the role of questions in historical thinking and learning. This class will show that history is not a list of dates, names, and events that one has to store up in memory but a challenging journey through the complicated past.
