Historical Thinking Matters: Why Historical Thinking Matters. A global guide to the first world war - interactive documentary. How the Potato Changed the World. When potato plants bloom, they send up five-lobed flowers that spangle fields like fat purple stars.
By some accounts, Marie Antoinette liked the blossoms so much that she put them in her hair. Her husband, Louis XVI, put one in his buttonhole, inspiring a brief vogue in which the French aristocracy swanned around with potato plants on their clothes. The flowers were part of an attempt to persuade French farmers to plant and French diners to eat this strange new species. Today the potato is the fifth most important crop worldwide, after wheat, corn, rice and sugar cane. But in the 18th century the tuber was a startling novelty, frightening to some, bewildering to others—part of a global ecological convulsion set off by Christopher Columbus. About 250 million years ago, the world consisted of a single giant landmass now known as Pangaea. Compared with grains, tubers are inherently more productive. Lesson Plans & Curricular Resources.
Statues are not the issue. These are ‘history wars’, a battle over the past. As a teenager growing up in Newcastle, I played a small role in a long campaign of attrition waged by my generation against the city council.
Our single objective was to ensure that by the end of each weekend the statues of central Newcastle all had a traffic cone on their heads, or had been made to look silly in some other way. As well as providing them with traffic cone hats (the classic), we balanced empty beer bottles on the outstretched hands of those statues striking heroic poses. If that didn’t work, we’d try wedging cigarettes between their bronze lips. History in Dispute: Charlottesville and Confederate Monuments.

A discussion that moves students beyond either/or debates to a more nuanced historical synthesis. Rationale By the time students reach adolescence, many believe that every issue comes neatly packaged in a pro/con format, and that the goal of classroom discussion, rather than to understand your opponent, is to defeat him. The SAC method provides an alternative to the "debate mindset" by shifting the goal from winning classroom discussions to understanding alternative positions and formulating historical syntheses.
The SAC's structure demands students listen to each other in new ways and guides them into a world of complex and controversial ideas. Description The SAC was developed by cooperative learning researchers David and Roger Johnson of the University of Minnesota as a way to provide structure and focus to classroom discussions.

Four takes on British history. Poor history teachers.
Rarely a week goes by without a debate on how schoolchildren should be learning about the past. Here, historian Margaret Macmillan shows how subjective history can be, by presenting four versions of the past 450 years. History is the past so therefore it cannot change. Wrong, quite wrong. History has changed, is changing now, and will continue to change. Hitler’s world may not be so far away. It was 20 years after I chose to become a historian that I first saw a photograph of the woman who made my career possible.
In the small photograph that my doctoral supervisor, her son, showed me in his Warsaw apartment, Wanda J radiates self-possession, a quality that stood her in good stead during the Nazi occupation. She was a Jewish mother who protected herself and her two sons from the German campaign of mass murder that killed almost all of her fellow Warsaw Jews. When her family was summoned to the ghetto, she refused to go. She moved her children from place to place, relying upon the help of friends, acquaintances and strangers.

Ataturk in the Nazi Imagination by Stefan Ihrig Harvard University Press, 2014 Stefan Ihrig’s fascinating book Ataturk in the Nazi Imagination provides an extremely detailed reminder of the fact that in his dreams of a victoriously ultra-nationalist Germany, Adolf Hitler had a very salient model in mind beside the more well-known one of Mussolini’s Italy: throughout his years as a radical fringe-politician and as Fuhrer of the Nazi state, Hitler was fascinted by the example of Mustafa Kemal, who led his native Turkey against the Entente powers in World War I and won the Turkish War of Independence, which concluded in 1923 with the Treaty of Lausanne.

As her brother drove her through the streets of downtown Beirut on a balmy January day, 76-year-old Suzette Sasson felt like a stranger in her own city. Captivated by the new places and unfamiliar faces, she failed to notice they had reached Wadi Abou Jamil, the neighborhood she had longed to return to for years. But when her brother stopped the car and pointed to a four-story building, Sasson was shaken out of her limbo. She stared, drowning in silence. “Go up mama,” said her 40-year-old son Raymond, sitting behind her.
