Students explain the role of significant ideas, individuals, groups and institutions connected to the developments of this period and their influences on the historical events. Students develop and modify questions about the past to inform historical inquiry. They locate, select and compare primary and secondary sources, and use information in sources as evidence in historical inquiry.
