  • Identify and discuss the main ideas in historical narratives, their purpose, and the point of view from which they were constructed.


  • Examine historical data related to ideas, events, and people from a given time-frame in order to reconstruct a chronology and identify examples of cause and effect.

  • Examine historical documents, artifacts, and other materials and classify them as primary or secondary sources of historical data.


  • Understand the significance of the past to themselves and to society.
