In this unit, students will learn to read, write, and think like historians. Hopefully, this will introduce students to the 'flip' of their history experience with me: students aren't in my class to learn history, they are in my class to learn to be historians. This unit will focus heavily on introducing the reading and writing skills that students need in order to be successdul in my class. Students will spend a lot of time collaborating and trying to make meaning about the past. Plus, we'll figure out where to go to survive a zombie apocalypse.
Unit Question: How do we know what happened in the past?
Essential Question: How do historians write history?
