Life

Creating the timeline of my life was tough because it was hard to remember what happened in specific years. As I went along, I started to remember more and had to go back. This exercise taught me about how history is often recorded and the potential for mistakes and misinterpretations. I also left out some of the details that I didn't want to remember and that can show how so much history is lost or changed. I might use this exercise with my students to demonstrate some of the same concepts.
