Dear Historians...

As you are aware, I am on Medical Leave today. And i hope you did not waste that one period by doing nothing. I trust that you are responsible historians who are up to any task given to you and capable of many great things.

I hope you had done a good job with Section C of your workbook. I look forward to assess your understanding. 

Please bring your files again on Thursday (hopefully i'm fully recovered by then) we will be doing some filing then. And please be prepared to have a make-up lesson next week for today's missing lesson.

Hope to see you all healthy on Thursday :)

Notice!

You are reminded to bring your workbook, with section C done until page 15 and your file for our lesson tomorrow.

Secondary 1 History E-Learning

Term 3, Week 1
Unit 1: Chapter 2
Topic: Reconstructing the Past

Students are to read up on Chapter 2 of your textbook.

The key issue you need to take note of is:

1. How to evaluate evidence. When we are handling or exposed to a collection of sources/evidences, we need to be careful and watch out for the reliability of the source.

We need to go through a process to test the reliability of it. We need to ask the credibility, consistency and corroboration of the sources.

Ask yourself :

-WHO provided the source?
-WHO is in reference to?
-WHY is the source chosen?
-WHEN was the account given?
-WHEN did the event occur?
-WHERE was the source made/came from?
-WHAT is the purpose of the source/historian…?
-WHAT happened?
-WHAT assumptions does the author make?
-WHAT is the basis of the author’s conclusion?
-DOES the content agree with what you know or have learned about the issue?

The evidence becomes a fact if it passes the 3 C's, otherwise, we may take it as an opinion. But do not be quick to dismiss the use of the source.


2. Read and try to understand the language of time.


E-Learning Tasks:

1. Workbook Exercise...
*To be submitted on the day of your return from LOA.

-Complete Chapter 2 from your workbook, stop at Page 8

2. Textbook Exercise...
