Purposeful, Transparent, Contextual, Building Expertise
Purposeful and Transparent
Students have some understanding of historical events, but often haven't considered multiple accounts of the event to determine if what they read is true or false.

Contextual
Evaluating what one reads is an important skill for students to develop and hone in their everyday lives.

Building Expertise
Students will have had experience with comparing and contrasting, but this learning activity deepens the understanding of author's point of view.
