                   Figure 4. The three-stage historical contextualization framework
The third and final component of the framework is based on the idea that students in history classrooms often have to explain, compare, and interpret historical phenomena and sources (Haydn, Stephen, Arthur & Hunt, 2015; Lévesque, 2008; Seixas & Morton, 2013). Only becoming aware of a possible present-oriented perspective and knowing how to reconstruct a historical context is not enough to do this successfully. The students must also learn to use their abilities to perform historical contextualization to examine and interpret historical phenomena and sources. The third component aims, therefore, to create opportunities for students in the lessons to perform historical contextualization to explain, compare, and interpret historical phenomena and sources. In the lesson unit, we therefore created opportunities for students to use their newly acquired historical context knowledge to interpret the historical case again.
