“ A history class should not be arguing about the facts of history, the most important argument we should be having is how do we interpret the facts. The discussions should focus on questions about meaning not questions about facts.”- Sam Wineburg

WHY USE SOURCES? Students do the work of historians. Documents engage students. Images can illustrate abstract

concepts. Students find multiple perspectives. Source analysis promotes higher order

thinking. Allows students to immerse themselves

in the study of history, geography, etc.

O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I don't know whether, after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore listen to what I am saying to you carefully and take these words to those who are not present . . . . O People, listen to me in earnest, worship ALLAH, say your five daily prayers, fast during the month of Ramadan, and give your wealth in Zakat. Perform Hajj if you can afford to. You know that every Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. You are all equal. No one has superiority over another except by piety & good action.

Source: King Ashoka, from the Kalinga Rock Pillar Edicts, India, 3rd century BCE

The people of the unconquered territories beyond the borders might think: "What is the king's intentions towards us?" My only intention is that they live without fear of me, that they may trust me and that I may give them happiness, not sorrow. Furthermore, they should understand that the king will forgive those who can be forgiven, and that he wishes to encourage them to practice [the Buddha’s Path] so that they may attain happiness in this world and the next. I am telling you this so…that you may know that my vow and my promise will not be broken.

• “This painting was drawn 311 years after the actual event happened. There is no evidence of historical accuracy, as we do not know if the artist did research before painting this…”

• “The painting is not a showing of how the Pilgrims and Indians reacted to each other in 1621. The Indians and the Pilgrims could have fought. J. L. G. Ferris has no proof this is true.”
