Key ideas

Contemporary history uses recent evidence that may still be incomplete or contested. Distinguish a verified event from commentary, prediction or opinion. News reports, official records and personal testimony have different strengths and limitations. Responsible citizenship includes checking claims before sharing them.

Practice activity

Compare two reports about the same contemporary issue. Record their dates, evidence, sources and any important information omitted.

Check your response

State what is established, what is disputed and what remains uncertain.
