    A primary source is a document that was created at the time of a historical event. Some examples include: the Declaration of Independence, the Magna Carta, and the Mayflower Compact. All of these are documents written by an individual who was personally involved in a historical event. They are not telling us what other people witnessed; they are telling us what they witnessed. The primary source that I want to look at is a first-hand account of the battle of Lexington and Concord during the Revolutionary War, which was written by Lieutenant John Barker.…

    The Alamo Chapter Summary

    • 647 Words
    • 3 Pages

    In this book, the author Crisp attempts to dig deep into the myths surrounding the Alamo - Davy Crockett’s heroic death and the authenticity of the de la Peña diary. In writing this book, Crisp uncovers hidden truths while engaging in contradictions with other historians. Essentially this book seeks not to debunk the myths of the Alamo, but rather to understand them. In my opinion, what David Crockett and the Alamo means is that Davy Crockett is in a sense a representation of Anglo-American superiority and heroics. The Texas Revolution can be argued as a narrative of Anglos demonizing Mexicans and in some cases Tejanos.…

    In conclusion, primary source is more reliable to use than the secondary source for information. As the poem “Paul Revere’s Ride” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is a secondary source that has time and fact difference with the primary source, letter written by Paul Revere, and a descriptive poem that can exaggerate and distort the facts, it is not a reliable source to use when compared to the writing of the man who was actually…

    In Michael Pollan’s “An Animal’s Place” Pollan provides an argument on whether or not Americans should consume animals, and specifically, if the fashion in which animals are farmed and slaughtered respects their capacity to suffer. Pollan illustrates his personal dilemma particularly when he ironically points his debate on whether or not to eat meat began while he was dining at a steakhouse. To develop his argument, Pollan initially exclusively uses the citation of animal rights activists, but then gradually cites experts that support his conclusion that Americans eat animals as long as the principle behind it is correct, and animals are treated with respect. He asserts to accomplish respecting animals that Americans need to regain their contact…

    My observations took place at The University of New Mexico’s Craft Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Wednesday, October 18, 2017, starting at around 11 am where I stayed for a little over an hour gathering data. With my observation, I expect to find that while the craft studio is in a high traffic area there isn't much going on aside from a couple crafter enjoying their trade, the Craft Studio has every aspect of what makes a good craft studio a good craft studio but it's a hidden gem. I don't expect there to be very many people or very many people to know what the space is used for and I also expect the see a few people trickle in to see what the space is used for.…

    Animal cruelty has always been a challenge that gets overlooked by society in the food market. Many people do not take into consideration the life of the cow, chicken, or pig, and lots of other animals, while enjoying their juicy hamburger, chicken leg, and bacon. “An Animal’s Place” by Michael Pollan argues about animal liberation while using support from Peter Singer’s “Animal Liberation” book. Peter Singer is pro animal rights and has converted lots and outs of people over to vegetarianism, while Michael Pollan loves steak and seeks to see if Singer could convert him as well. Our world changes consistently with the trends of our society, from the civil rights movements of blacks and women, to the legalization of gay marriage.…

    Before taking this class, I had a whole different outlook on what I would be learning, but I am grateful that the instruction I had made me reflect on the kind of classroom and practices I believe are important especially when it comes to teaching social studies. Practices and approaches that I would have never considered including into an elementary classroom curriculum such as research, flooding a terrain model, and role play have opened up my eyes and created a very different vision of my social studies classroom. In thinking about what children need and keeping their interests in mind, I honestly do believe that when students are learning about social studies, they need more than to just memorize names, dates, places and to worry about…
