ABSTRACT
History is not just a march through time. It is not just learning the main date. As history educators Linda Levstik and Keith Barton (2001) note, history is an enormous family drama, full of plots, twists, and turns. History is our story; it shows us our past, and it suggests our future. e end is not predictable, and we are still in the middle of the story. History is mysterious; it already happened, and its memory can only be pieced together from remnants of the past. History is the pursuit of our story; it can kindle our curiosity and engage our passion-if only we will let it.
