Interactive Units

History is more than memorizing names and dates. It is also more than a story well told. Instead, it involves the analysis, comparison, and synthesis of multiple (and often conflicting) sources. With the use of H5P digital technology, these Interactive Units provide users with several options and supports to help them cite evidence from primary sources to construct their own understandings about the past. Educators can assign these units as essays their students complete with each topic’s essential questions, and the general public can use these units as interactive exhibits that reveal fascinating topics from the past.
