- Students will be able to recognize the difference between historical evidence and interpretation and utilize critical and analytical thinking to examine the causes and ramifications of historical events, topics and themes.
- Students will be able to develop their own perspective on history and provide evidence from both primary and secondary sources to support their viewpoints in written and oral form.
