What is history? Many people describe history as the study of the past, a huge
collection of names, dates, facts that you are expected to memorize. The goal of
this assignment is for you to discover other meanings of history and to recognize
why it is important to study history.
In this project, you will think about the meaning of history by describing and
illustrating several events from your own life, finding a witness to provide another
description of one of those events, and thinking about the similarities and
differences between the two descriptions.
This is exactly what history is like. History is what
happened in the past, just like the events in your life. Our work this year is to
figure out how we can gather enough evidence to get the clearest picture
possible of what happened in the past.
