In my history class we are currently discussing the 6 historical thinking concepts. The concepts help us determine whether or not an event is to be considered “historical”. That means whether or not an event should be record down as “history”. These are the 6 concepts (in no particular order).
Most people would make their first post titled “First Post” and then write in it. “This is my blog about blah blah blah and I hope you follow because I’ll follow back” but that seems quite ridiculous and pointless to me. So my first post for the blog that will start out only for history class is about history!… Yay! (see what I did there? I almost did the same thing I said was pointless and ridiculous)
What is History? That is the big question that we are searching for an answer in our class. Honestly, not even historians think about what history is and my class is going to try to figure it out. So I will probably be posting about history stuff for a while until I finish the class. Anyway, what is history? So far I can say that history is when a person interjects their own biased view/opinions on someone’s or something’s past. History is also the distance between the present and the past and the Interactive Lens of the historian(whatever “Interactive Lens” means). We can also determine is something is historical if we use the 6 historical thinking concepts and the event fits the criteria. If you wondering what are these 6 historical thinking concepts are you’ll have to wait till alter because I cant even believe I wrote this much on a blog about history when this post isn’t even for marks.
