In your first group, go through the class notes/notes about your topic. Decide on 7-10 NEED TO KNOW facts, events, ideas that would help someone understand your topic. These don't have to be vocab words or specific details, but general statements that summarize can be okay too.
NEXT, you will get into a new group of one person per old group into a new group. With your new group, check out your lists. Try to find the connections, similarities, events from one group that lead to another group. Draw out these connections in a web-type graphic organizer.
Finally, look at the major themes of the course (listed below). As a group, write 2-4 sentences that describe how each theme has been revealed in our classroom so far. Where, when, why are these things happening?
- The Evolution of Concepts of Personal Freedom - How have the concepts of personal freedom, individual responsibility, and respect for human dignity evolved over time?
- Growth and Impact of Centralized State Power - What is the impact of a large centralized state on its people and the world around them? Why do centralized states form?
- The Growth of Industry - How has economic trade spread ideas, customs, and practices? What is the impact of industrialization on individual nations, as well as the world? What happens to countries who struggle with industrialization?
- Impact of Technology - How has the development of scientific reasoning, technology, and formal education affect people’s health, standard of living, religious beliefs, government, and the environment?
