Goal: Connecticut academic standards: Social studies, Grade 5

## 1. Evaluate Sources and Use Evidence

- [Vocabulary: historical thinking](https://ai.page/c/vocabulary-historical-thinking/index.md): Know and use the vocabulary of historical thinking — source, evidence, primary source, secondary source, artefact, chronology, chronological order, BC/BCE, AD/CE, century, decade, era, period, timeline, excavation, archaeologist, interpretation, corroborate, bias, perspective — and apply these terms when discussing how we know about the past and how reliable our knowledge is
- [Checking Sources Against Each Other](https://ai.page/c/checking-sources-against-each-other/index.md): Corroborate: check whether multiple sources agree on the same facts — and investigate why they might not
- [Evidence Versus Interpretation](https://ai.page/c/evidence-versus-interpretation/index.md): Distinguish between historical evidence and historical interpretation — evidence is what survived, interpretation is the argument a historian builds from it, and the same evidence can support different arguments

## 2. Develop Questions and Plan Inquiries

- [Questioning Historical Sources](https://ai.page/c/questioning-historical-sources/index.md): Before trusting a historical source, ask: who made this, when, and why? — the answers shape how much weight the source should carry
