Extension question:
4) What would a memorial showing the voice or perspective of those left out of the historical narrative look like or what would it show?
Students were then assigned one of six additional chapters to study individually for next class. Students should answer the same three questions:
- Summarize the reading. What are the three or four main ideas important to the event?
- How are these events remembered? In what ways do the memorials reflect a perspective of one voice or perspective?
- Whose voice or perspective is left out?
Group 1 Essays #8 (76-81) Centralia Massacre
Group 2 Essays #29 (152-157) Haymarket Massacre
Group 3 Essays #30 (157-160) Women in History
Group 4 Essays #32 (164-165) Testicles in History
Group 5 Essays #41 (197-199) Plantations
