  18. Storey • Your PERSPECTIVE • The manner in which your personal experiences affect how you view the world • Examples?

  19. Istor • What is istor? • Ancient Greek • Meaning “Inquiry” • “Istoria” = History • Inquiry • To explore or investigate by asking questions and searching for evidence. • Historians are DETECTIVES!

  20. Key Terms for the Day • Source/Sourcing • Primary Source • Secondary Source • Corroborate/ Corroborating

  21. Source • Source: where you get your information from! • Primary Source • A document created during the time being studied • eye witnesses, diaries, interviews, official records • Secondary Source • A document created later by someone that did not experience the event • Books, articles, your textbook, your teacher

  22. Questions to ask when sourcing… • Who wrote this? • What is the author’s point of view? • When was it written (a long time or short time after the event)? • Why was it written? • Is this source believable?

  23. Corroboration • Corroborate: cross-checking an event to confirm it happened • Questions to ask… • What do the other pieces of evidence say? • Am I finding the same information everywhere? • Am I finding different versions of the story? Why might that be? • Where else could I look to find out more about this?

  24. Today we being to examine history: November 5, 2001… Essential Question: Who was at fault in the infamous Los Altos Cafeteria fight of 2001?

  25. TGIF! Please: • Grab a piece of candy. • Take out your notebook and the “Lunch Room Fight” Activity. • Finish filling out the matrix. • Make sure you answer ALL parts of EVERY question.

  26. November 5, 2001… Who started the infamous Los Altos Cafeteria fight of 2001? When you are done – write up a small paragraph stating what you believed happened – using the evidence you’ve collected from the text. At the end of your paragraph – write two sentences explaining how your PERSONAL BIAS might be effecting your readings of the texts. Remember: Answer all parts of every question. That means both why something IS believable and ISN’T. Reference the text in your answers – what language indicates to you that someone might be lying? What language indicated someone might be telling the truth.

  27. 10th Woman/Man for Discussion • Everyone will do this role at some point. • The purpose of this activity is to practice your historical thinking skills so we’re going to practice this skill as well. • The purpose of the 10th person is to help encourage divergent thinking, challenge our group mentality, and enrich the class discussions. Remember, as 10th person you just have to question your group members, think outside of what is just on the page – there is no way to know any of it is true…

  28. Discussion Questions • What facts do all the stories have in common? • What facts differ between the stories? • Whose version is most believable? Why? • What other sources would you like to hear from to determine what really happened? • Who do you think started the fight? What EVIDENCE do you have to support this? If you are the person in your group with the most pets. YOU are the 10th man/woman.

  29. Takeaways from the Lesson • History is an account of the past • Accounts differ depending on one’s perspective • We must rely on the evidence we have to construct our accounts • We must consult multiple pieces of evidence in order to build our account • We must question the reliability of each piece of evidence
