For the next week we will be going through the first chapter of our History text. In order to understand History, the events and people in their appropriate contexts we need to first learn how to study it. What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of the study of people and their stories? Are the stories and recordings about past events accurate and reliable? Is it even important to know about what happened to some old dead person oh so long ago?
Wednesday: We will go through the 'Timelines' handouts and write out our "rules for identifying centuries". Start to read through chapter 1.
Thursday: Eyewitness accounts - reliable or unraliable?
Friday: Archeaology- what's the point of digging through dirt?
Archaeology - acquiring data (information) about our human past - Due Monday, Feb 14th
