Yes, like using one 93-year-old data set
Text reads: "As the basis of their analysis, the authors relied on a 1932 book by French historian Georges Lefebvre, who compiled letters and other documents indicating how the rumours travelled from one location to another."

This is my favourite poster from the historyskills.com website.
Image of an atomic test in the Pacific Words at top of image read, "History Teacher Wisdom No. 21" Words at bottom of image read, "A STEM education can teach you how to make a more effective atomic weapon but studying the humanities will teach you why you shouldn't."

I had caciocavello for breakfast this morning at the farmers' market. It was delicious!
Top half of picture: man scraping melted caciocavallo cheese onto toasted bread. Both the cheese and bread are toasting over a charcoal brazier. Bottom half of picture: two pieces of toast with melted caciocavallo cheese on them.

While I'm home recovering from being ill - I was running a fever last night - I might as well get caught up on my marking. (the most teacher thing to say/do on a sick day)

For anyone who needs it today, here's a baby bunny eating a leaf.
Image of a wild baby bunny eating a leaf. It is surrounded by small daisies and tall grass. It is completely unconcerned by me taking a photo.
