Christensen - Chapter 6

I think this was a pretty awesome chapter. Being that I am a Political Science major and a huge believer that our history textbooks lie and only tell the easy stories, I thought that it was awesome that an English teacher was making students get involved. I know that this is just one simple part of our history, but by making students be aware of something that affected every single one of us in some way, I feel that students will be more motivated to challenge their History teachers and go out on their own and learn the truth. I feel that History is one of the most important subjects we teach in schools and for an English teacher to be taking this stance is something that I think should be mandatory in every class. It creates a passion within the students, which is exactly what is missing in our schools.
