Today we will be learning how to read like an Historian This is the most important skill, next to writing, that I will teach you all year. We are going to practice this A LOT, because it is a Common Core Skill and you will be tested on it when you are a Junior. You will need 2 pieces of paper. Share a piece of paper for the half sheet with your partner.

Please get a RLAH Handout- Pg 9A Then set up a piece of paper with this title: What is History- Pg 10A You may take notes in any form you like.

What is History? An Account of the Past Story Storey Istor

Story What is Story? – a narrative, either true or fiction, in writing or spoken, that is designed to interest, entertain, or instruct the listener or reader Examples?

Storey What is Storey? A floor or level of a building Uh what? So a man jumps from a building…

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

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!

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

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

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?

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?

November 5, 1999… Who started the infamous Los Altos Cafeteria fight of 1999?

Imagine that you are the principal of Los Altos and you just found out that there was a fight in the lunchroom during lunch. This will probably lead to a suspension or expulsion and clearly chances to get into college have been impacted. You’ve asked many students and teachers who witnessed the fight to write down what they saw and who they think started the fight. Unfortunately, you have received many conflicting accounts that disagree about important details of the fight, like who started it, when it started, and who was involved. It’s important to remember that NO ONE is lying.

In pairs, answer with your partner: Write your Answers on Pg. 10 B with your other work…. You do not need to write the question, but write the words in BOLD before you write your answer. EX. 1. Different Stories: Answer…. 2. Different People: Answer…

Today's Take-away:

Please get the handout from the front of the room. This is pg. 11A/B in your binder. Get an Evidence Folder to share with your partner

Look at the first row of your Chart: Source: who wrote this document? When was it written? Hypothesize: According to this document, who started the fight? Find one piece of EVIDENCE (QUOTE) to back up your claim Reliability: Why might you trust this source? Why might you not? Doc A Trust: Not Trust: What information will you be looking for as you read this document?

Annotating Documents: 1.Find the clear plastic cover in your Documents folder and take out your white board pen (or get one from the front). 2.You may use these to mark up your document without writing on the class set.

Please do not talk at this timeAug. 29 When we first did the Lunchroom Fight activity, we focused on sourcing. You wondered how two accounts of the same event could be different if no one was lying, and you considered why some accounts might be more reliable or trustworthy than others. Today we’re going to revisit the Lunchroom Fight activity, and you’re going to receive actual evidence from eyewitnesses and others connected to the fight. Your job is to figure out who should get suspended for starting the fight. In order to figure that out, you’re going to need to source,contextualize, and corroborate. In other words, you’re going to need to read and compare multiple pieces of evidence in order to figure which are more reliable and how they all fit together to fill out the story of what happened in the lunchroom that day.
