"Reading Like a Historian with the Digital Inquiry Group" will take place on Zoom from 5:00–6:30 p.m. CT on February 5 and 12. The webinars will introduce participants to the Digital Inquiry Group's Reading Like a Historian curriculum, which teaches students how to investigate historical questions by employing reading strategies such as sourcing, contextualizing, corroborating, and close reading. Instead of memorizing historical facts, students evaluate the trustworthiness of multiple perspectives on historical issues and learn to make historical claims backed by documentary evidence. Joel Breakstone, cofounder and executive director of the Digital Inquiry Group, will lead the webinars.
