ABSTRACT
Jason is a bright, energetic second grader. When asked how he would explain history to a student living in a faraway place, Jason says it is a book that he has in his classroom. When he is asked to show the adult interviewer how to do history, he takes a toy clock from among the props in the room and shows the interviewer how to tell time. He is not able to explain what telling time has to do with history, however. When asked if he likes history, Jason simply shrugs his shoulders, as if to say, “I don’t know.”
