 * Engaging Students in Historical Thinking Using Critical Literacy Strategies **

Lindsay Gibson - The Critical Thinking Consortium It has been argued that thinking historically can help individuals develop important critical thinking and critical literacy strategies for interpreting and understanding the past, but also events and information that they encounter in their everyday lives. This session will focus on introducing several historical thinking, critical thinking and critical literacy tools and strategies for primary and secondary sources for teaching history. Additionally, this presentation will introduce a new resource called “History Docs”, a searchable digital collection of sets of primary sources and secondary sources organized around a variety of important topics in Canadian history appropriate for upper-elementary and secondary students.
