History in MI

Today we started to think about what a historian is and what history is. We explored the terms chronological order, reference point and timeline. We thought about the historical events we already knew and tried to think of their place in history. We looked at and explored a world history timeline, placing the events we had voiced in the correct place. We thought about BC and AD and what these mean. We then worked in mini crews to order events in chronological order. We then looked more at where the 19th century is on our timeline and which events in history are around this time.
