Comparing Forms of Historical Narrative *coming soon*
This chart for teachers supports the reading and study of memoirs through a comparative and intertextual approach. The chart will help students gain a strong understanding of how different types of stories describing history are constructed and how they can complement, nuance or enrich one another in developing an understanding of history.
