COR for the History Classroom
Historical misinformation abounds online. Improve students' ability to evaluate historical information on the internet with these curricular materials. These lessons and tasks can be used in a variety of subject areas, but we've compiled this group of materials specifically for history educators because they present students with history-related sources.
Students should learn COR skills across the curriculum, and we hope these materials serve as proof of concept for how history teachers might incorporate Civic Online Reasoning into their classes.
