  8. What sources do we trust? • Get in groups of 3 to do the “evaluating sources” activity.

  9. What is History? • History is an account of the past. • Accounts/narratives differ depending on one’s perspective. • We rely on evidence to construct our accounts of the past. • We must question the reliability of each piece of evidence. • Any single piece of evidence is insufficient. • We must consult multiple pieces of evidence in order to build a plausible account.

  10. How to critically examine sources: • • What claims does the author make? • • What evidence does the author use to support those claims? • • How is this document supposed to make me feel? • • What words or phrases does the author use to convince me that he/she is right? • • What information does the author leave out?

  11. Examining Sources Text: What is visible/readable? What information is provided?

  12. Context: • What was going on during the time period? • What background info do you have that helps explain what is found in the source?

  13. Subtext: What is between the lines? • Author: Who created it and what do we know about them? • Audience: For whom was the author writing? • Reason: Why was the source produced when it was?

  14. We will be “thinking history” this year. Critically examining sources to determine what happened.

  15. What do you know about Columbus? • Brainstorm a list of 5 things you know about Christopher Columbus and the “discovery” of America.

  16. Lies My Teacher Told Me • Read 1 of these 2 documents and list 5 new pieces of information. Or, if you already knew it all, 5 descriptions of the interaction between Natives and Europeans.
