Keeping Time: A High School Historiography Curriculum

Keeping Time is a one-year high school history course meant to introduce students to methods of historical interpretation. It uses articles, videos, and primary sources to answer the following questions:

• How do historians explain the past?
• How does historiography impact what we know (and what we think) about history?
• How can we determine what’s true if every historian interprets the past differently?
