The Big Six Historical Thinking Concepts By Dr. Peter Seixas & Tom Morton
A very good reminder that helps teachers implement historical critical thinking into the classroom. This book is loaded with helpful teacher training as well as useful lesson plans. When creating a lesson, I find it useful to reflect on the concepts of these books in order to take my lesson to that next level that draws on critical thinking, reflection and a deeper, more engaged stage of learning.
