Exploring World History Standards: 1 of 4

Today we will be getting into groups and breaking down the Tennessee World History Standards (found here).  We will form the following groups:
  • Age of Revolution
  • Industrial Revolution
  • Unification and Imperialism
Each section will contain a series of standards (W.1 through W.104) with specific goals.  A standard may want you to "Evaluate" something or "Compare" things or "Describe" things.  Others may direct you to do a research project, cite text evidence, or write an informational essay.

Your tasks for today:
  • Get into your respective groups.
  • Write the name of the group and the names of all group members on a piece of paper.
  • Decide how you will divide the work to handle the standards in your group:
    • List relevant page numbers for people, places, or concepts in your standard.
    • Discuss possible lesson ideas to achieve that standard.
    • Assist fellow group members in their understanding of the task, standard, or concepts.
  • When your section standards are set, take some time to discuss a "culminating task" (a project, essay, or larger lesson that can tie your section together).  Generally it would be something to reinforce the standards, but having it be fun is always a plus.
