The document outlines the daily lesson plan for a history class. It includes a bellringer activity asking students to describe an unbelievable story, a quiz on evaluating sources, and an activity where students trade items from their backpacks to make inferences about each other from 100 years in the future. Students then sort examples as primary or secondary sources and discuss theories for the fall of Rome by acting them out without saying the theory name.
