3. Two Web Stories
3.1. Discuss how taking history classes, doesn’t necessarily mean you have to always be interested in the subject, or is about memorizing, and remembering content for the rest of your life. Rather taking history classes, is about learning what you do enjoy studying, and gives you the skills to learn how to be a good historian. E.g., i have taken a few history classes that content was not the appeal, but the learning and application of new historical theory that made me a better historian.
3.2. History as an avenue for discourse and challenging past written histories, introducing new narrative and misrepresented communities
3.3. History as an opportunity to learn how to write about anything you want in hisotry
