Section 2 Skills in History
Dustbin exercise
Historians are like detectives they have to use
evidence skills to understand the past. Mr Collis
and his family went on holiday, then the Police
were called when his workmates feared something
had happened to them when he didnt return to
work when he was scheduled to. No one could
contact them, either by mobile phone or email. As
a junior detective you had the nasty job of
examining the Collis familys rubbish bin just
like the one above. Use your skills to answer the
following questions, making sure that you support
your answers with evidence. Dont be afraid to
put anything you think down as an answer. You are
getting marked on your thinking and how you link
ideas together thats the skill of a
historian! 30 marks
