Overview
Unit 1 Discussion - Who Owns History? - H2 Spr25 D1 3

Each student will be graded individually on the quality of his/her contributions to the group discussion.

4) Go to this site which contains the contents of Foxe's Book of Martyrs. Choose one of the chapters. Read it and post a one paragraph summary of the chapter. (For the longer chapters, you may summarize just a section of the chapter if you like. For example, Chapter IV is a little longer. So, if you wanted to summarize the section titled "The Bartholomew Massacre of Paris", that would be fine.)
