What is History?

Today students completed their final informal write. They were asked to reflect on the year, responding to the following prompts:

• What is history?
• What, if anything, from this class supports or opposes your definition of history?
• If history is in the past, what relevance does it have for the future?
• Does this class give you hope for the future?
• Likes/dislikes about HOTA?
• Are you patriotic?
