CLOSURE This TABA exercise has students doing history as many historians have done for centuries. Students arrange data seeking patterns and trends for them to examine. Additionally students seek comparisons and contrasts, as well as see how civilizations have changed over time. This leads students to conclude that change occurs in patterns and that American history is no different from other regions of the world. This exercise also reviews crucial information necessary for the 10th grade TAKS exam.
