Iran-Contra Document Workshop Day (Ch 28)
by Dr. H - April 25th, 2014
Today’s workshop concerns the Iran-Contra Affair (scandal, controversy, crime, pick your title). 
Our task:
Figure out what happened
Use evidence to revise an existing narrative
Reflect on the process of writing/revising history
In groups, you’ll be working with 4 different accounts of this event in Google docs, and with the textbook’s collection of documents. Study your documents; discuss and decide what’s important and what’s not; and edit the account I’ve provided for you WITH A PARTICULAR AUDIENCE IN MIND. In your Google doc, avoid changing the text in red, that’s the original; scroll down for the same text in black, which is the one you should change.
Our 4 versions:
Digital History online textbook
Boyer, The Enduring Vision (an AP HS textbook)
Wikipedia as of yesterday
Hewitt / Lawson (our textbook)
