Autobiography

Snapshot Autobiography

Our goal in history is to learn to think like a historian.  We need to be able to look at documents and determine their validity, reliability, and bias as documents.  This is done by looking at the source (the author), the context (time period in which it was created), read it for information, and compare it to other documents.  We should rely on our own knowledge, as well as research to determine the importance of the documents.  This lesson is a beginning step in learning to "read/think like a historian".
