Name: HER-STORIOGRAPHY

The problem with teaching history is that everyone holds a different opinion of what should be taught in school. If you take a look at the size of the world history textbook in our class, you start to see that it is impossible to teach everything if we plan to have any meaningful analysis about the events. Problem: Driving Question:

In order to answer this question, it is necessary for us to become historians. We must gather primary sources for certain events from history. Since we have over 70 nationalities represented here at TYWLS, I feel that it is necessary to interview someone who has lived for an extensive amount of time in another country. With the data that we collect, we will create our own zine for global history, as opposed to an out-of-date textbook

zine noun \zn\

HER-STORIOGRAPHY
: a small magazine that is written by people who are not professional writers and that usually has stories about a particular subject 1. First, you should interview someone who has lived for an extensive period abroad. We will develop questions in class and you will interview your subject about an event that happened in the country that your interviewee witnessed firsthand that he/she believes should be taught in a Global classroom. 2. You must also collect a picture artifact from your primary source. 3. After you have conducted your interview, we will divide the class into groups based on region. Each group will consolidate all of their data into a google doc. If the picture is not digital, we can scan the picture at school. 4. Once each group has their pages of primary source material for their region, we will annotate and analyze the documents. 5. The group will be given map of their region and will be responsible for analyzing the map in relation to their interview. Does geography influence the event in any way? 6. After each student has analyzed their primary source, each member is responsible to research 3 different sources that also document the same event. The purpose to this is to answer the question: Does your interview shed new light on this event? Do any of the sources that you researched contradict what your primary source stated? 7. Your group will be required to form a timeline of all of your events. Do they connect? Do you see any evidence of cause and effect? Do the events share similar themes? 8. Based on the groups annotations, each group will be responsible for synthesizing (combining) all of the information into a secondary source. 9. Each group is responsible for creating a chapter for the zine. After you create the secondary source (along with the timeline), each group member should also include a: political cartoon, poem/song, visual representation, or

collage of pertinent images. This should be visually appealing. Remember, history is a collage of different ideas, events, individuals, and emotions. Make sure that your chapter stands out in the zine. 10. After we have all of our components, we will combine all of the chapters, include a table of contents and an eyegrabbing cover.

Once the zine is complete, we will have a publishing party (tentative date: October 11).
