How do historians do detective work to discover the truth? With the help of different types of sources, historians do detective work to discover the truth. Let’s explore! Skim and answer What is this passage mainly about? It's about how historians study history with three methods. What are the three ways historians explore history? Skim and answer Studying evidence from the past Studying written sources Using new technology Read and fill Research Methods Functions Studying evidence from the past Show how ancient people lived Studying written sources Learn what ancient people said, did and thought Using new technology Check if historical materials are real and find relationships between historical figures Read and answer 1. How many different types of evidence are mentioned in this article? 2. How do historians and archaeologists work together? Four. They are tools, coins, clothes and other artefacts. They work together to uncover clues, combine evidence, and confirm discoveries. 3. Why do historians need to compare different documents? 4. How does carbon-dating help historians? To find out the truth as old documents may be incorrect. It helps confirm the age of items and check document authenticity. Further thinking If we only have written sources (like a king's diary), can we believe it completely? Why or why not? No, we can't believe written sources like a king's diary completely. Because the text tells us that single evidence has limitations. A king's diary may only show his own opinions or hide some facts to make himself look good. Historians need to combine it with other evidence (like archaeological evidence or new technologies) to check if it's true. Discuss and say 1. Which way of studying history do you think is the most important? Why? 2. What other methods do historians use to learn about the past? Analysing oral traditions Myths and legends Oral histories Researching art and architecture Paintings and sculptures Architectural works Making comparisons Comparing different cultures / places in the same time period, or comparing the same culture / place in different time periods I think studying evidence from the past is the most important way. Because evidence is "real proof" from long ago—it can’t lie! Written sources might be forgotten, changed, or even made up over time. New technology helps study things, but it only works if there’s evidence to look at. Discuss and say 3. Do you think historians do important work? Why or why not? 4. What qualities should a good historian have? Curious, careful, patient and... Yes. Because they help us know how people used to live, what mistakes they made, and what good things they did. We can learn from the past to be better now. Learn and practice By comparing this evidence with old stories, they figure out which parts might be true. By + v-ing 表示“通过做某事的方式”。 e.g. I learn English by watching English movies. (我通过看英文电影来学习英语。) 请使用 By + v-ing 结构完成句子。 We can find the answer _____________________ (通过问老师).
