Prelude
Contextualization: The Lunchroom Fight
Our question
How does context help historians explain why something happened?
Fieldnote — start here
Read the principal’s two accounts. Underline a shared detail and star a detail added in the official report.
Source — examine the evidence
Return & Revise — finish
Complete the handout: compare the accounts, mark two historical circumstances (H) and one geographic-context detail (G), then explain the fight using at least two context details and causal language. Continue on loose-leaf if your Fieldbook is at school.
