Social Studies - History

I decided I wanted to blog about history this week. I have never been truly fascinated by history as a whole, but more about my family history. Since I have grown older, I am more fascinated by history as a whole, in addition to family history. I am fascinated to see all the different stories related to one event; I like to see all sides of a story. While I was in elementary, middle, and high school, I only heard one side of a story and now I hear multiple sides of a story. I believe that students need to be able to decide for themselves what they think is true, based on facts presented to them.
