Curriculum The Reading Like a Historian curriculum engages students in historical inquiry. Each lesson revolves around a central historical question and features sets of primary documents modified for groups of students with diverse reading skills and abilities. This curriculum teaches students how to investigate historical questions employing reading strategies such as sourcing, contextualizing, corroborating, and close reading. Instead of memorizing historical facts, students evaluate the trustworthiness of multiple perspectives on issues from King Philip's War to the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and make historical claims backed by documentary evidence.

Norway Right-Wing for tax reforms / News in brief Progress Party (FrP) and Conservative Party (H) politicians want to see wealth and inheritance taxes removed in the next four-year parliamentary period. Both levies currently provide Norway with around NOK 18 billion (about GBP 1.94 billion/USD 3.13 billion) a year. Head of the Frp’s Party political programme committee Per Sandberg told DN they remain divided when it came to other forms of tax, such as income, however. With all Parties fully aware of 2013’s impending general election, Labour (Ap) finance policy spokesman Torgeir Micaelsen said, “We're back to a classic discussion where we believe that such tax cuts are unnecessary in a situation where the welfare state needs every penny to build roads, schools and improving care for the elderly.” Like this article?

Toolkit Defining Primary and Secondary Sources By Michael Eamon, historian and archivist, Library and Archives Canada Primary Sources Secondary Sources When Is a Primary Source Not a Primary Source? Libraries and archives hold objects, like documents and books, which help us to find out what happened in the past. Primary and secondary sources, when used together, help us to understand people, ideas and events from the past. Primary Sources People use original, first-hand accounts as building blocks to create stories from the past. All of the following can be primary sources: Secondary Sources C.W. What do you think?
African-American Civil Rights Movement (1954–68) The African-American Civil Rights Movement or 1960s Civil Rights Movement encompasses social movements in the United States whose goals were to end racial segregation and discrimination against black Americans and to secure legal recognition and federal protection of the citizenship rights enumerated in the Constitution and federal law. This article covers the phase of the movement between 1954 and 1968, particularly in the South. A wave of inner city riots in black communities from 1964 through 1970 undercut support from the white community. The emergence of the Black Power movement, which lasted from about 1966 to 1975, challenged the established black leadership for its cooperative attitude and its nonviolence, and instead demanded political and economic self-sufficiency. During the same time as African Americans were being disenfranchised, white Democrats imposed racial segregation by law. Characteristics of the post-Reconstruction period: Racial segregation.
Jens-Steklov – nesten i KGBs garn Alf R. Jacobsen har i dag en kronikk i Dagbladet som kaster lys over Jens Stoltenbergs kontakt med KGB. Stoltenberg hadde allerede en mappe i KGB under kategorien - fremskredne kontakter, hvilket betød han ble dyrket med tanke på å bli fanget i KGBs nett. Oleg Gordijevskij avslørt Arne Treholt. Det kom som et sjokk på regjeringen og Ap. Butkovs norske føringsoffiser, Einar Brusletto, sa det var maktpåliggende å finne ut hvem som skjulte seg bak navnet Steklov. Med iskald ro og stort mot greide han i et ubevoktet øyeblikk i KGB-senteret å ta ut Steklovs mappe fra safen. Stoltenberg holdt på å bli valgt inn som medlem av Forsvarskommisjonen, et utvalg KGB ville ha stor interesse av. I løpet av de få minuttene Butkov hadde hatt til rådighet i Moskva, hadde han dessuten kunnet fastslå at Steklovs mappe var opprettet tidlig i 1989 og var av typen DOR - Delo Operativnoj Razrabotki.

Nå kan du avsløre politikernes løftebrudd Alt de folkevalgte sier og stemmer på, områder som sykehuskøer, skolepolitikk eller asylsaker, er i utgangspunktet offentlig tilgjengelig informasjon. Det betyr ikke at all informasjonen er lett tilgjengelig. Slett ikke. I 2012, når to millioner nordmenn er innom Facebook hver dag, er det fortsatt vanskelig å finne ut hva stortingsrepresentantene faktisk stemmer i konkrete saker. – Mens det er mye snakk i media om at politikerne har gjort det ene og det andre, er det ganske vanskelig og lite tilgjengelig for folk flest å se på hva de faktisk har gjort, sier statsviter Daniel Rees til Dagsavisen. Han er en av initiativtakerne bak nettsiden «Holder de ord» (www.holderdeord.no), som de håper skal bli et redskap for lettere å kunne sjekke om politikerne faktisk holder løftene sine. Skal lage oversikt Nylig vant de unge gründerne en reklamekampanje verdt millioner (se faktaboks). – Vi kommer ikke til å lage en vurdering av hvert enkelt løfte, om det har blitt holdt eller ikke. – Ja, absolutt!
Primary and Secondary Sources Way back in 1703, a massive storm hit the southern coast of England. It was a hurricane known as the Great Storm and it took over 8,000 lives. Today we know quite a bit about that storm and what actually happened when it came ashore. We know so much because we have a reliable way to research and document events, places, and people who matter. Here’s how it works. When an event like the Great Storm happens there are usually people who witnessed or experienced it directly. These are the primary sources for research about the storm. But for your article, other sources of information may also be helpful. For your article, this is considered a secondary source. So for any important part of history, you are likely to find two types of sources that can work together to give you a strong sense of the event. By understanding the types of sources you have and how to use them in your projects, you can bring your audience the best experience and most accurate information.
