The strange death of silas deane
In history, we examined documents on the nature of the death of Silas Deane, then made our own analysis of the documents and answered questions about what we believe truly happened to the poor man. I believe this demonstrates inquiry thinking skills because it has the student cite evidence from the text they read, has them solve a mystery by analyzing all the facts presented to them, and then has them reflect on the process as a whole. I received full credit for this assignment, and found it not only beneficial but intriguing.
