A history lesson that begins with the story and then produces sources to support it teaches the wrong lesson about how anybody knows anything. Ours begin with the evidence, in a state of genuine disagreement, and the narrative is what the class builds out of it.
This is slower and considerably harder to timetable. It also produces pupils who ask who wrote a thing and why before asking whether it is true.
