In this workshop, participants will learn how to develop historical thinking skills through the analysis of historical buildings. We will draw upon literary theory and practice to show how the process of historical building analysis supports students’ development of higher order thinking skills and meets Common Core State Standards.
While many social studies and language arts teachers are familiar with using close reading strategies for historical thinking related to documents, traditional text can serve as a barrier for students who struggle with reading, particularly students with language-based learning disabilities or those who are non-native English speakers.
