It introduces students to a five-step set of practices designed to simulate the experience of being a historian and make explicit all key phases of the historian’s craft.  \nThe Historian’s Apprentice: A Five-Step Process  \n1. Reflect on Your Prior Knowledge of the Topic  \nStudents discuss what they already know and how their prior knowledge may shape or distort the way they view the topic.  \n2. Apply Habits of Historical Thinking to the Topic  \nStudents build background knowledge on the basis of five habits of thinking that historians use in constructing accounts of the past.  \n3. Interpret the Relevant Primary Sources  \nStudents apply a set of rules for interpreting sources and assessing their relevance and usefulness.  \n4. Assess the Interpretations of Other Historians  \nStudents learn to read secondary sources actively, with the goal of deciding among competing interpretations based on evidence in the sources.  \n5. Interpret, Debate, and Write About the Topic Yourself  \nStudents apply what they have learned by constructing evidence-based  \ninterpretations of their own in a variety of ways.  \nSamples are provided for evaluation purposes.

By modeling what historians do, students will practice the full range of skills that make history the unique and uniquely valuable challenge that it is.  \nModeling the historian’s craft is not the same as being a historian—something few students will become. Therefore, a scaffolding is provided here to help students master historical content in a way that will be manageable and useful to them.  \nHistorical thinking is not a simple matter of reciting one fact after another, or even of mastering a single, authoritative account. It is disciplined by evidence, and it is a quest for truth; yet, historians usually try to  \nclarify complex realities and make tentative judgments, not to draw final conclusions. In doing so, they wrestle with imperfect sets of evidence (the primary sources), detect multiple meanings embedded in those sources, and take into account varying interpretations by other historians. They also recognize how wide a divide separates the present from earlier times. Hence, they work hard to avoid presentmindedness and to achieve empathy with people who were vastly different from us.  \nIn their actual practice, historians are masters of the cautious, qualified conclusion. Yet they engage, use their imaginations, and debate with vigor.
