20. LET US BEGIN- WHY HISTORY MATTERS
History is abused (movies)
YOU are history- what have you left behind today
Canadian Identity- people all over the world identify you with Canada because of what happened in the past- what will people think in the future?
History is what we use to make sure that we get things right- Donald Trump is not an historian, Trudeau is not a historian, Hitler was not a historian
And yet these people (and others) claim they know what is right- history allows us to study the perspectives, causes, consequences, changes and continuations that make us who we are

Quick!!
Top Ten Most Important Moments of all time…and GO

24. So What?
If History is fun in any way it is when very controversial questions are asked…and you use lists!
You are all relatively the generation who has grown up in the 21st century…congrats
So, two tasks- look at the list, try to label the year the event occurred….then rank the ten most SIGNIFICANT events….that word is in capitals for a reason.

25. What History do we Study?
What we choose to study changes history
Imagine if we did the same activity in another country, or if another time period
What we think is significant now might not be as significant in the future and vice versa
The Skills of history- at the root is knowledge- what we know changes how we learn therefore we better understand why/how we know certain things

26. MARCO POLO’S UNICORN
Marco Polo- 13th century Italian explorer- recorded his travels across Asia to China and back
Came across numerous animals and sights he had never seen before and didn’t understand. His recordings show us how we think of things within our own known perspectives

27. MARCO POLO’S UNICORN
“unicorns are scarcely smaller than elephants. They have hair of a buffalo and a single large black horn in the middle of the forehead. They are very ugly brutes to look at…not at all as we describe them to be…”
What was he looking at, that he thought was a unicorn?

29. THE POINT IS…
Marco Polo used what he knew to understand what he didn’t know
As historians we cannot put our present ideas into the events and minds of the past
We must be open minded, critical and we must READ
