Lessons · one built, seven planned

Sixty seconds,
and the work
behind them.

A lesson is one idea, told in about a minute, drawn from our templates and read by a real voice. The video is the short version. The lesson page is the long one: the script, the claim log, the sources and the credits, all in the open.

The lesson page

What every
lesson carries.

A sixty-second video cannot hold footnotes. The page can. These five things, and a dated correction whenever one is needed, are published with every lesson. A lesson without the five does not go out.

The script

The words as narrated, with a source number after every factual sentence. 120 to 170 words.

The claim log

Each claim, what it was checked against, and the result: checked, rounded, or disputed. Nothing is deleted from it later.

The sources

The full list, with the primary sources marked, so you can go and read them yourself.

The storyboard

Every frame, labelled by the template it uses, plus the sign-off card that closes every lesson, so you can see how the lesson was built and from what.

The credits

Who researched it, who checked it, who wrote it, who drew it and who read it. Real names, when the lessons are real.

Corrections, if any

If something was wrong, the correction sits on the page with its date. Write to [email protected] if you find one.

Everything else

Nothing else is
published yet.

That is the whole index: one sample lesson and a plan. New lessons appear here the day they are published, with their pages. If you would like to know when, the form below is the only place we will tell you.
