Thinking Like An Historian, Day 2: September 2, 2015

Congratulations - Day 3 is in the books!  We used our new vocab terms today to talk about a current event, the renaming of Mt. McKinley in Alaska.  You did a good job looking at this issue from multiple perspectives and identifying the biases and perspectives different groups and individuals would have.

For the next part of this unit, you will be looking at how hard it is to get one accurate account of any given event.  Your homework for tonight is to complete the first part of the "Evaluating Sources" assignment - choose one major event or memorable story from your life, and share it on the first page of the handout.
