World History Heroes or Villains? YOU Be the Judge!
History tends to judge historical figures in extremes: Genghis Khan was a barbarian! Martin Luther was a religious hero! As teachers, it's tempting at times to present the world as black and white to our students: good or evil, friend or foe, hero or villain. Use this series to encourage students to take off the rose-colored glasses and see beyond the established historical narratives, into the real world of gray. Take your students across continents and time, from Alexander the Great all the way to Niccolò Machiavelli!

Good Heroes and Villains

I like the breakdown of people in the poster line, but perhaps a few more people in the 19th century would be good. I enjoy the series and will use all of them, but it seems like many of the figures are clumped into certain timeframes or eras. For example, Shi Huangdi, Cleopatra, and Alexander the Great are all in a similar time frame. It would be great to see more from the 7th to the 10th centuries or the 19th century.
Staff's Response: Hi Mike, Thank you for the review! Glad you liked the posters. Who would you have liked to see added? This is a great help for future development. Thanks again, Kristin - kristin@teachersdiscovery.com
