-Each person presented their "story" in a small group
-The idea of "Historical Perspective" was introduced
- What is perspective?
- We looked at how it is possible to see events from different perspectives and how this might relate to history.
- In order to understand the people and events of the past, we have to understand what was important AT THAT TIME in terms of common opinions, values and beliefs
- When we view the past through our "present' lens - this is called "presentism".
