Sources, Bias and the ROle of the Historian

Today will be the last day of historiography (fingers crossed), with my intention of starting our unit on WWI tomorrow.

We will be looking at this powerpoint on sources and bias, and making a mind map on the smartboard about potential sources of bias.

We are also going to discuss your first assignment on defining moments and go over the expectations and the assessment rubric.  I will be away at a meeting on using iPads in the classroom (we should have our class set next week) on Thursday, so you can plan to use that period to get a big chunk of the assignment done.
