Unit 1:

Day 5 - January 14

SWBAT utilize primary sources in order to analyze the characteristics of a time period, identify turning points, and evaluate their impact.

To demonstrate their ability to understand continuities and changes, students should:

● define theme-based continuity and change.

● cite evidence of theme-based continuities and changes within a period of time.

● determine the significance of turning points in the context of theme-based patterns.

To demonstrate their ability to think in terms of periodization, students should:

● utilize turning points to identify historical periods according to historical themes.

● explain how significant events and related developments lead to changes in historical periods.

● justify the categorization of historical periods through the use of turning points and related developments.
