week thirteen

I know the post is late, but I didn't realize we had to complete an entry over the week we had off.
I was busy that week with the project for this class, and my history class.
I won't go into this classes project as that will be shown later. However, the topic for history could be related back to this class.
I am looking into how history is taught; basically one-sided. An example would be, how students are taught about WWII from the American side, and rarely the German side.
Apparently the unwritten rule was, the winner got to tell the story. It wasn't until very recently, historians have gone back and started look at history differently.
This could relate to this class (or at least my project for this class) in how historians are starting to develop their own literacy; understand fully what is going on underneath the big picture. Kind of like media literacy.
