Content consumption does not equate to the construction of new knowledge, discourse, answering questions, solving a problem, or creating a learning artifact. I often recommend the use of this tool in History as a way to explore primarysourcedocuments. That is a good start, but not a solution if learning is the goal.
Some of those articles are written for mass-market publications, while others focus on specific topics and outlets ranging from nursing to Black culture to material artifacts. Bunk demonstrates that our discipline matters in ways young people cannot see in textbooks, static documents, and often outdated historiographic debates.
It’s been a huge time saver, especially since it allowed me to focus more on the classroom and less on the stress of documenting every detail. This part helped students connect primarysource analysis to the broader motivations for European exploration, further deepening their historical thinking skills.
You’re] able to give really specific praise and feedback in a particular area, when you have that video artifact.”.

Explaining what they know increases their confidence and solidifies their knowledge. Salmerón, L.,
Examples of Student Learning Artifacts created with Studies Weekly printed publications: I hope you find these resources helpful. Your Studies Weekly Online classroom contains digital versions of your publications and more online resources like digital lesson plans, videos, and presentations you can project to the whole class.
The thinking skill associated with Question Two is interpretation, and in high school we’re usually interpreting a primarysourcedocument. In the earlier grades we are often looking at a pattern of behavior or an artifact.
When we do a full Question Two inquiry lab in the classroom we usually work from primarysourcedocuments, especially in the upper grades. But we can also interpret artifacts, images, or patterns of behavior, which is more typical in the lower grades. Whatever the source, the 4QM interpretation process has three steps.
