Scaffolding Reasoning Processes: Causation Practice Progression | World History Project

Session recorded: 2/22/2022
How do you prepare your students to become historians in training, especially when there are so many historical thinking practices and reasoning processes for them to learn? In this session, we’ll do a deep dive on our causation practice progression. Each activity in the causation practice progression builds upon the next, challenging and supporting your students as they learn to do the work of historians.
In this session we’ll discuss:
- How to introduce causation to your students in a low-stakes way that makes it easier to comprehend the elements of the process
- How to use activities that gradually increase in complexity as students progress through the course
- How to incorporate causal maps and the Causation Tool into your lessons
Whether or not you are currently teaching WHP, you will leave the session with helpful tips on how to equip your students with the necessary skills to evaluate historical causes and consequences.
