Students examine a short set of historical documents, survivor testimony, museum text, health data, and a secondary article to practice sourcing, corroboration, and noting uncertainty. In pairs, they build an evidence map that labels each source by type, perspective, possible bias, and what claim it might help answer. This prepares them to choose methods that fit both social studies and science-style investigation work.
