Lesson Proper
There is more to just reading history. There is also the task of
studying historical accounts. Much of our history is written because
there are accounts of eyewitnesses or participants of specific events.
And this is where the problem comes in; which accounts should we
believe?
As the saying in historical studies go, “there is one past, but many
histories,” Thus, controversies on and conflicting views of events in
Philippine history exist. This situation, however, does not detract from
any form of historical sources by analyzing how perspectives are made
on historical events.
Many issues have only been briefly explicated and sometimes this
brings confusion in understanding our past as one nation. Hence, this
unit demonstrates the ability to formulate arguments in favor of or
against a particular issue using primary sources.
“ There is history in all men’s lives.” -William Shakespeare
