How do I teach all this stuff?

• Having students make sense of it all

2

• Two weeks of review or re-teaching?
• Find out what they know
• Pre-test
• Re-construct
• Quick lecture with assistance by evaluation by
  quizzes or graphic organizers

3

• Cross-temporal, cross-spatialtimelines and maps
• Other possible tools
• Flip books
• Powerpoint slides
• Organizing posters
• Data sheets/spread sheets

4
Flip books

• Each page results in a cross-comparative
  analysis
• Number of divisions and pages equals how many
  items you are comparing
• Text
• Graphics
• Color may help to organize, tied to having
  students color-code their maps and/or data sheets

5
Flip books

• Group work to create books based on number of
  traits or characteristics to be analyzed.

6
Powerpoint

• Dont need paper, do need tech
• Group work to create individual parts of work
• Timeline
• Map
• Traits or characteristics
• Groups create individual slides and then work is
  pasted together

7
Organizing Posters

• Construction/poster paper
• Story board
• Might still use clip art from computer resources
• Display in classroom with students responsible
  for analyzing each groups poster (same is true
  for flip books and the rest of methods)
