Students must learn  that we cannot just “accept”  information, but rather “interrogate” the text for information. As historians, we must always examine the sources and question its credibility and reliability. The goal is for students  to start critically analyzing textual information. In this lesson students will read a secondary source as an introduction to the Roman Empire and use a "Sourcing"/ "Annotation" guide that teaches students how Historians read textual evidence in a effort to reconstruct the past. 

As history teachers it is important not to just teach the "Names, Dates and Locations" in history but our true role as educators is to teach them critical thinking skills that will serve them throughout life!
