In this lesson, students will gain a frame of reference for understanding how multiple factors can influence how history is written. This resource will prompt students to be able to answer not only “What happened?” BUT-- “How do you know?” and “Why do you believe your interpretation is valid?”

Critical questions are posed;

• What kind of factors can influence how history is written?
• What is a primary source? What is a secondary source? Strengths and limitations of each?
• Does one's analysis of recent historical events differ from distant past events?

Students will explore these important questions through the study of Christopher Columbus. Through the analysis of primary & secondary sources, students will re-examine the way in which the Columbus story has been portrayed in mainstream literature. A culminating Venn diagram activity will complete the lesson.

Two Optional Extension activities include;

This product features an engaging back to school Music Talk activity that will have your new students thinking, writing, speaking, and moving on the very first day of school. In this activity, they must choose between 6 different quotes about music and articulate why the quote aligns with their own perspective using a particular song to explain their opinion. Use this lesson every year to set the tone for what you expect in class; it is a great way to gain insight about your students' current attitudes toward music while getting to know one another with a higher level thinking activity. We have also recently added a digital version of the Music Talk worksheet to support distance learning and cut down on paper.

This Order of Operations Back to School Mystery Picture is the perfect way to celebrate back to school! Students will simplify 16 expressions using order of operations, find the answer on the grid and hand draw the image they see in the box onto the grid! In the end they will have a hand drawn Back to School picture which would make a great bulletin board!

I love this activity because:

- you can celebrate coming back to school

- review Order of Operations, which is a major skill in Algebra 1 for algebraic expressions

- it will take the whole period and allow students to express their drawing skills

* Drawing is also super relaxing so the class environment will most likely be pretty calm, which we all love :) *

- 2 Pages of Order of Operations questions
