**As the Bell Rings...** media type="custom" key="10439776" MEAP Prep handout...

**What We Did In Class** Yesterday you were given a handout, called " which allowed us to reflect on the //process// of learning history.

Let's now watch the video, "Why Historical Thinking Matters" and share our takeaways, and revise our definition of history.

After we have revised our definitions, we will take a look at two documents:

With the first one, I'll model a "Think Aloud" strategy while we read, and then we'll compare the Declaration of Independence with the Declaration of Sentiments after the whole class does a "Think Aloud" with the second one. We must discuss what we are "doing" with these two documents and be very deliberate and intentional with our thinking - remember, history is not passively learned.
