History's a great place for critical thinking.

Homework assignment: Analyze each of the following passages. Who is writing the passage? What are they writing about? Who are they writing about? What are some of the possible biases inherent in their account?

Then give them diary entries from a slave owner, a slave, an Indian fighter, a Native American, an American revolutionary, a Brit fighting the Americans in the Revolution.... you could go on and on with this.
