The purpose of this wiki is primarily to provide good history lesson ideas and resources to families that might otherwise be uncertain about how to dive into a deeper and broader knowledge of history -- everything that has ever been, and much that no longer is. Growing in our grasp of historical lore helps us understand who we are and tunes our imagination to all that is possible. It makes our arguments deeper and richer.

However, because history contains so much, teachers speaking of it is often deeply boring because it takes so long to grasp what is essential and powerful. It takes a lot of training that may not be available to people working on the fly without state support.

Meanwhile, almost no history textbooks render history in a way that is either 1) narratively compelling or 2) analytically valuable.

Students are right to be bored to tears with the dreadful representation of history in textbooks as interminable lists of facts.

A wiki might do a better job of providing an easily navigable guide to major historical topics and themes, vivid stories, comparisons of representative artifacts, and analytical prompts.
