     Questions:

    • Are statues accurate historical representations? 
    • What bias do artists show in recreations of historical events?
    • How can artistic historical representations help us better understand historical context? 
    • What story does the truth tell and what story does the artistic representation tell? Does it matter if they are different?

    Thanks  Kile Clabaugh for the post and images.  I had listened to Malcolm Gladwell's podcast on this earlier - very powerful and quite a lesson! Appreciate the photos you added.

    I'm also interested to know what other podcasts folks use in classroom curriculum and lessons that connect history and primary sources. 

    Hi Cheryl, 

    I just came across a new podcast by Jill Lepore that is FANTASTIC at connecting history with today. I plan on creating something with it, but wanted to share the link: https://www.thelastarchive.com/ 

    I just listened to the trailer.  I’m hooked!  Thanks for the link!
