EXERCISE TWO: INTERPRETATION OF DATA





  1. Using two of the groups you developed above, list any additional facts about the group and/or topic that you might know. Exclude all but relevant facts.




  1. What inferences does your information/grouped data suggest? Justify.




  1. What cause and effect relationships can you infer or deduce from the information you have generated? Using your data, infer prior causes and subsequent effects. Students should make new inferences based on supported inferences.




  1. What change over time relationships can you infer or deduce from the information you have generated? What is the pattern to change over time in your group(s)?




  1. Draw conclusions about your information and support it.




  1. How might you better organize your information to teach the concepts of “cause and effect” as well as “change over time”? How would this information differ from the generalization that “regions develop independently and differently”? What conclusions can you make about global change during this historical period?




  1. How would you prioritize facts and information from this exercise to teach the lesson? How might you want to comparatively study different historical periods or historical regions? Generalize about new situations and subsequent history.




EXERCISES THREE: USING GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS





  1. Teachers can instruct students to visualize change over time through the use of the grid. For this exercise, students should select two of the geographic or topical groups they created above and transfer the data to the grid according to the chronological periods. Describe change over time. Working with two different groups or regions allows students to compare and contrast change over time.



EXTRA CREDIT OR ENRICHMENT


Mnemonic devices help students remember complex and extensive facts through creation of a memory device. Songs especially ballads can achieve the same purpose. Using Billy Joel’s ballad “We did not start the fire” as a model, have students create a ballad of American history in relation to world history. Use the facts as provided above. Limit this exercise to the last three chronological time periods, 1450 – Present. Have three groups cover one of the time periods. You could have six groups, two per time period. You may want to preview the ballad on the web. Alternatively you can use the AP Themes or PERSIAN themes as the organizing theme instead of chronological periods.
ASSESSMENT
Write either a “Compare and Contrast” or a “Change and Continuity Over Time” essay.
