Discovering History Through Multiple Perspectives

Miacademy & MiaPrep Learning Channel

This engaging educational video introduces students to the critical historical concept of historiography—specifically, the importance of analyzing multiple perspectives to understand the past. Through a clever retelling of "Jack and the Beanstalk" from the Giant's point of view, the narrator demonstrates how changing the storyteller changes the story itself. The video transitions from this accessible analogy to real-world historical examples, showing how differently events are perceived depending on who is telling the tale.
