How to do History

  • I've been using these pages to supplement my graduate course work in history. I especially like the one about the philandering priest, but I didn't do so well on the quiz.
  • Something like this would have been great for me a couple of years ago: teaching local history to third graders at the local art and history museum. The highlight of the session was getting to read the diary of a local boy from 1910-1915 - although we encouraged the kids to do things like time capsules (buried boxes of stuff they thought would be interesting in the future), the value of oral history is something kids should know.
  • Still cool.
  • Yeah, you know what. It is.
  • *rushes past*
  • History is hawt. I'd do it.
  • 4 minutes later is most definitely NOT rushing past.
  • 4 minutes and THREE DAYS is more like crawling in the dusty wake of.
  • I love you guys.
