Learning the Story
The closeness of the Perry sisters is touching and sentimental. It provides a powerful context for making empathetic connections to people who lived in the past. Empathy is an important historical nuance. Some have termed it an outcome or product of historical understanding. Others wish to think of empathy as a skill to be used in the process of developing understandings. We recommend providing students with multiple opportunities to experience and to learn more about the role of empathy in history education.
