  Double-sided poster features definitions of primary and secondary sources and guides students through the process of historical inquiry. One side (Doing History Is Like Solving a Mystery) uses captions and illustrations to present history as a mystery for elementary students. Primary and secondary sources provide clues to answer questions. The flip side (History Is an Argument About the Past) shows middle and high schoolers how historians know what they know about the past. Instructs students to examine source information, analyze primary sources, understand historical context, read multiple accounts and perspectives, and to use evidence to support claims when making a historical argument.
