Every year, as I embarked on the journey of teaching historical enquiry, I sought a method that would encapsulate the essence of historical study and its structure. I needed an engaging and efficient way to teach these key skills. The traditional lecture method left my students disengaged. That's when the SSS approach came to the rescue!
