Unit Overview
How do historians determine what happened in the past?
A lunchroom fight, while seemingly minor, becomes a case study in power, perspective, and interpretation. By examining how and why events are remembered differently, students are introduced to historical thinking: sourcing, bias, corroboration and evidence. The unit reframes everyday experience as history in miniature, establishing the practices historians use to analyze the past.
