History not a single story

After writing your geography test, we began our history unit. My name is Ms Wagner and I am a teacher upgrading my qualifications. I will be teaching history for the next six weeks in place of Mr. Marshall. Today we discussed some of the "big ideas" in Socials 10, namely That history  is multiple stories and multiple perspectives. We also noted the importance of thinking critically when we study history and view things from all sides. We read the " blind men And the elephant parable" and listened to a Ted talk called, "Africa, not a single story."

If you have missed today's class please be familiar with both the Ted Talk and the parable.
