History 2222 is a workshop in the art and craft of the historian.  

My students engage in the big questions that have driven our discipline for thousands of years, and the challenges and opportunities we face today.

On our last day together they work in small teams to write a "rant," modelled after a famous Canadian beer commercial, about what it means to them to be historians.

Their final assignment is subtitled "On Being Neil deGrasse Tyson," and they have to write a blog post assessing both the accuracy and the sheer entertainment value of a movie, book, tv show, web series or video game that is set in a real time and place.

    Goal setting tips

    in Coaching

    Create discussions of your choice and make them look just right with easy text editing options. When writing longer discussions without images, use our flexible text editing tools to bring your posts to life. Make it easy for people to understand what you have to say by adding bullet points to your text so all your main points are clearly visible. Want to highlight important words in your text? Use bold or Italics to make them stand out. Want to add links? It’s easy just select any text and add a hyperlink.
