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, 2009… Who started the infamous Los Altos Cafeteria fight of 2009?

Discussion Questions 1.What facts do all the stories have in common? 2.What facts differ between the stories? 3.Whose version is most believable? Why? 4.What other sources would you like to hear from to determine what really happened? 5.Who do you think started the fight? What EVIDENCE do you have to support this?

Takeaways from the Day 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
