"Why Do I have to Study History?"
Kidwell, F. L.
Social Studies Review, v36 n1 p66-69 Fall 1996
Recommends beginning classes in history with a short unit on historiography (why and how we study history). This not only provides a context for the succeeding material but also allows for a discussion of inquiry and research methodologies. Defends history-social science as a foundational skill. (MJP)
