What is Historically Important?

Yesterday in social studies, we went over the question, "What is historically important?". We went over this to help us on our I Am projects so that we can do our timelines better. This helps us what events we can take out and which ones we should take out. We went over many things that could make something historically important, like events that changed mindsets or destroyed things. The only thing that was actually put on the desks in the first place were blank sheets of paper. We had to fold the paper, hotdog or hamburger style, and drew a timeline of five important events in our life on one side, and five important events in our project person's life on the other side. After looking over the points that makes something historically important a little more, we were introduced to a new website called Circavie. Circavie is this website where you make timelines for events or peoples' lives. We made open IDs so that we can have access to the site. We were expected to be able to take out the important events in our project person's life and put it on a timeline we are to make as part of the project.
Unfortunately, it was not really a day where someone could directly help the other. A lot of what we did just was state some points of what we thought could make something historically important. As usual, the person who said something thought provoking was Mr. Armstrong himself. When he asked us a question, we were simply dumbfound at the presence of his extremely hard question that we didn't speak, not that we always do anyway. Unfortunately, I couldn't actually write down his question fast enough before he went on, so I don't actually have the exact text. But the heroes among our shy and quiet class was mainly Soyon and Heejae. They were the ones who spoke up when none of the others could, which is not an easy thing to do. However, I would have thought that they were always good spoken people.
