LESSON 1.8 SkillBuilder: Historical significance
How do we analyse the historical significance of an event or person? Historical significance is a decision that modern people make about what is important from our past. In deciding whether something has historical significance, we can consider specific events, people, locations and ideas as being particularly important to us. Since significance is a decision that we make, it means that different people can decide that different things are significant, or that they can disagree about the reasons a particular person, event, place or idea is important.
LESSON 1.9 SkillBuilder: Communicating
How do we communicate our historical interpretations, based on evidence from sources, with the right concepts, knowledge and terms?
Communicating involves using the correct terminology and metalanguage in a sentence to discuss sources or historical skills and concepts. It is essential to developing a coherent argument about the historical event, movement or figure being discussed.
