Big idea
If you ask a student what it takes to do well in a subject like history, they will probably say a good memory. Historians disagree. It's much more than that. "To historians, history is an argument about what facts should or shouldn't mean. Even when historians are able to piece together the basic story of what happened, they rarely agree about what an event means or what caused it." (Thinking Like a Historian - Wineburg). How do we help change students' perspectives? We can do that by putting them in a picture.
