One thing that teachers must realize while teaching social studies is to be careful that history is on a time line. While we can take events and people and study them, we have to remember that there were events before and effects after. Students need to be taught to look at history based on the information at the time. For example, we cannot use a modern day dictionary to understand documents written in the past. We have to look at the definition of the words based on the time period. We also cannot change the words to "near synonyms" to make it easier for the students. Words are chosen for their meaning. If we change the words, we change the meaning.
