HWC Day 62 - Developing Historical Questions & South Asia History

Objectives:  Identify the qualities of and practice creating good historical questions.  Describe the major historical developments in South Asia prior to European encroachment.

Task:  After you've recorded the daily objective, please get out a blank piece of paper and write down qualities of a good historical question.  After a brief discussion, you'll get out your computers, log onto the Moodle, and practice revising historical questions.  Be sure to keep these guidelines in mind while posting your question to the HWC blog and commenting to your peers.
