Jerry Hayes has spent countless hours preparing to instruct using a thematic approach between last spring and this summer. Jerry has been working with his students in the first few weeks to build their historical thinking skills specifically in the areas of sourcing, corroboration, contextualization, perspective, and now with this lesson is introducing the idea of essential questions.
