This research assignment focuses on students researching either a significant historical event or a significant historical figure to compare how historians record this history to how Hollywood (or the film industry) has portrayed it. Students must include whether or not different types of historians (contemporary, traditionalist, revisionist, post-revisionist) and Hollywood (or the film industry) have changed the portrayal of the significant historical event or figure overtime.

The following resource provides student instructions, planning templates to draft answers, and a marking matrix for historical content, skills, presentation, and literacy requirements.
