Now write a 250-word essay in which you evaluate and analyze sources 1, 2, and 3. In your essay, focus on three or four of the predictions and discuss whether they have come true. What words did the authors use to describe them? What details did they give? If these predictions came true, how would you describe them? If they didn’t, do you think they may be possible in the future? Why or why not? Why do you think people try to predict the future? What skills might enable someone to make an accurate prediction? Cite your sources in parentheses within the text. Historical Thinking Skills
