Pretty Patriots Unite!

The members in my fieldwork group are Liz, Kristen, Courtney and Christina. This week my group and I started field work at Bishop Dunn Memorial School. Our placement is in Mrs. Benfer's 4th grade classroom. Our lesson plans that we will be implementing in our class will be on the beginning of the American Revolution. The class consists of 26 students, 12 boys and 14 girls. 

Reflection on Historians

In class today, we were learning about "How Do I Engage Students in Examining History" and each classmate was assigned one question to answer in the textbook. My question is from chapter 11"Time for Reflection" page 343, I was assigned the second reflection question.

The question is:
How is it possible for an artist or a writer to create something that is accurate if he or she did not witness the event?

Answer: 

Artists and writers analyze the given facts that are available to them throughout history, which will help them make more accurate and logical interpretations of different historical events. Artists and writers are Historians, which means that they conduct excessive research in one specific area at a time. They gain the ability to create something that is accurate based off of this research. The research makes anything accurate because it validates the truth and accuracy by using facts. As long as the Historians have research to support their work then his or her work is  accurate. Analyzing facts is very important when conducting research because it will help the student or Historian create an interpretation of the event, instead of using your imagination.
