For History methods courses for Middle and Secondary students.

It offers guidelines for involving learners in historical inquiry, teaching toward chronological thinking, encouraging deliberative discussions, and using primary sources/historical documents to ignite pupils' innate "detective" instincts and engage them in solving historical problems.
