📝 Inquiry Question and Hypothesis

Using their role card and source set, students draft a focused historical question about how the revolution affected one family or social group, then write a testable hypothesis and identify what evidence would confirm, complicate, or challenge it. A brief mini-lesson models how to narrow broad topics into investigable questions and how to reject sources that do not match the question. Students log their question, hypothesis, and initial evidence needs in the Family Footprints Research Notebook.
