By using the internet to gain a grasp of historical events, students will then take that understanding and manipulate it to fit Zits point of view. The events will be altered by being told through this voice from a choice of mediums.
Introduction
Who is responsible for telling history? What if Zits was the one given that responsibility? This unit will explore how a different point of view may or may not change the way events are told and perceived. It will hopefully offer a chance to see if what we see in history is factual, or perhaps does suffer from the bias of the storyteller. How would history be different if the storytellers changed?
