As the son of a history teacher, I have always been in love with history. I would spend countless hours watching documentaries and old movies with my Father about history. My same love for history does not pass on to every single student that I have. My goal as a history teacher is not to make students fall in love with history. My goal as a history teacher is to teach students how to analyze history and come up with their own meanings about it. Through analyzing Primary/Secondary source documents students will be able to create their own understanding of the events of history. Not only will the skill of analyzing help them become better students but it will help them become better citizens. They will be able to carry the skills they have learned onto whatever their future holds
