Geography Geography is the study of the earth and the ways people live and work on it. In your WHN, answer the following question: How and why do people live in a certain area?

How do we know about historic events? What is History? The branch of knowledge dealing with past events. How do we know about historic events? Artifacts such as writing, drawings, oral traditions, and many other things What is an Artifact? Anything made or used by humans

How do you think archaeologists, those who study the human past through its material remains, “read” an artifact? Pennies – Examine and write down everything you notice about the coin. Artifact Analysis Worksheet Some Examples: What pictures, words, and numbers do you see? What is the coin made of? What might this coin tell future archaeologists about the unknown society it came from? Examples: Time the society existed (date on the penny) The people had a religion – they believed in a god The people knew how to work in metal (penny is made of metal) The people know how to construct buildings Some men in the society wore beards. Do these examples provide a complete picture of what our society is like? Explain. What about if it was determined by future generations that: The man on the penny is a god. The building is a temple for worshipping the god. A statue of the god is inside the temple. The people of this society had two languages (English and Latin). How could archaeologists test their guesses? (Books about religious beliefs, pictures identifying Lincoln as a president, not a god) – New evidence changes our ideas about the past. Practice analyzing artifacts to find information about people, places, and societies, practice observation and reasoning to make inferences and draw conclusions. Hmmm, something seems to be brewing….

QUICK. What just happened. Write it down as you remember it QUICK! What just happened??? Write it down as you remember it! DO NOT DISCUSS WITH YOUR PEERS! Read versions Discuss: Did everyone remember it the same? Explain. Stage some quick interactions between a few members of the class…have students record what just happened, then discuss the different “versions” of the “eye witness testimony”. Use “First Day of School Follies Activity” Word Document “After Somebody” has the activity instructions.

How is history made?? Bias: Your point of view based upon your likes and/or dislikes. Interpretation: How you make meaning out of something.

Primary Source: Something created by someone who was directly involved in the event. Secondary Source: Something created by someone who was NOT directly involved in an event… An interpretation using your personal biases.

WHAT IS THE KEY TO BEING A GOOD HISTORIAN? QUESTION WHAT YOU READ AND HEAR!! EVERYTHING IS SOMEONE’S INTERPRETATION OF WHAT THEY BELIEVED HAPPEN.

“There’s your side of the story, and somewhere in the middle Reflect for a moment, then write a brief paragraph (at least 3 sentences) explaining what this statement means and how it relates to World History. “There’s your side of the story, my side of the story, and somewhere in the middle is the truth.”
