History is the study of the past, but it is also a discipline with its own methods and procedures. Understanding the importance of inquiry skills in the study of history will assist students in developing a critical perspective on received versions of the past, and learning how to compare different accounts. In this entertaining but informative program, we follow two students as they explore the elements behind the essential inquiry skills in the study of history. We look at the process of historical research, how to write focus questions and a hypothesis, examine the differences between primary and secondary sources, evaluate sources, and develop and appropriately format historical responses.
