Curriculum Framework
Virginia Board of Education, 2001
World History: 1500 to the Present Curriculum and Pacing Guide Loudoun County Public Schools The attached document is meant to guide the teacher in his or her implementation of the World History curriculum. Teachers should pay close attention to skills elements, and put emphasis in their instruction on the 20th century content. The pacing suggestions are important, not only because we will again implement two county-wide benchmark assessments during the school year, but because they truly help to guide the teacher in the timing of instruction. Wherever Resources are listed, teachers are reminded that they must view them or read them first to determine their appropriateness for their own classes of 10th graders. To instruct students in the 10th grade material, teachers should consider the large amount of content and its interconnections. It is not expected, nor is it recommended, that teachers plan instruction for this material in strict numerical order of SOLs. Many of the state standards are conceptually linked, and can be taught and learned together. Concept maps, designed with this type of instruction in mind, have been created for teachers and students, and are found in Part II of this guide. Teachers should examine these concept maps before beginning their own lesson and unit planning, since they are great aids to cognitive and practical organization. In 2008-09, we will continue our implementation of the Social Science skills we expect our students to master. The grade 10 skills articulation is a central piece of our curriculum for World History II, and combined with the SOL pacing guide and concept maps, rounds out our complete Grade Ten Curriculum. The skills articulation, found in Part III of this document, contains a list of skills for our students to develop, the sequencing of skill mastery, and sample lessons that will help us both teach content and instruct our students in these important skills for social science. Again this year, the skills articulated in this document are to form a portion of the two benchmark assessments that grade 10 students will take during the school year 2008-09. We thank the teachers who have put hard work into refining our curriculum and our instruction, and all of our teachers who help our students master social science knowledge every day in school.

IMPORTANT FEATURES OF THIS CURRICULUM/PACING GUIDE FOR 2008-09: The Virginia Department of Education has REVISED the SOLs for History and Social Science, K-12. 2008-09 is a transition year, so this document contains some material that will be removed for 2009-2010, some that will be added for 2009-2010, and some that will be unchanged. PLEASE PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION to the following guidelines which explain how this document is organized and coded.
1. All material that is italicized will be removed starting with the school year 2009-2010. However it WILL be tested during the school year 2008-09.
2. All material that is underlined in red will be added starting with the school year 2009-2010. However, it WILL NOT be tested during
the school year 2008-09.
3. All material that is in plain text will not change. It will stay in the curriculum for 2008-09 and for 2009-2010. It WILL BE tested during both years and thenceforward until future revisions from the VADOE.
Material that will be added in 2009-2010 has been included in this guide so that teachers can begin planning for it and including it in their instruction. As always, the SOLs that are identified with italics or plain text constitute the minimum total amount of knowledge and skills we expect students to learn in Loudoun County.

The Concept Maps that follow are offered as sample organizing structures for our history and social science instruction. They are included because both brain research and cognitive science are pointing to the following conclusion: Students will better comprehend and integrate the facts of history and social science if they are offered a structured set of ideas to frame those facts, and if they are guided into making their own similar knowledge “structures.” Concept Maps have been developed for this curriculum to help teachers build their own understandings, to encourage teachers to conceptually organize their instructional planning, and ultimately, to have students develop concepts in social science as a matter of habit. The specific maps included here are meant to possess an approximate correspondence to particular units of study in our curriculum. If teachers have different organizational structures for the historical ideas to be developed from our curriculum, we encourage teachers to modify these concept maps to fit their own cognitive plans. Electronic copies of these maps are available from your Social Science Department Chair.

This is our foundational document as we begin to undertake an articulation of skills for Social Science in Loudoun County Public Schools. This is the first step in our first stage of this process. Our aim with this document is to provide a statement of where students should be in grade 10—the last before they become high school “upperclassmen/women”—so that documents for grades 9, 8, 7, and 6 can be constructed with the important “building blocks” of skills outlined in methodical, progressive fashion. Once this first stage of articulation is completed, we will assess our progress, and, if we are satisfied with it, proceed to stage two: the articulation of Social Science Skills for the elementary grades. Combined with our paced Framework documents, skill articulations such as this are meant to refocus our teaching to include skills instruction as an everyday component of classroom activity, complementing the content instruction. This document, combined with the paced Framework document and Standards of Learning, will comprise our curriculum in Social Science for grade 10. The organization of this document is as follows: First, there is a straightforward list of skills that the teacher committee determined to be essential to grade 10 success in Social Science. These skills were culled from the Virginia Standards of Learning, the PSAT list of relevant skills, and the College Board’s skill articulation contained in the AP World History “Acorn” book. The second section, is a table suggesting a breakdown of skills into component parts, the estimated times for coverage in the course and their mastery by students. The third part of the document is a collection of practical lesson plans and suggestions for teachers to use as they plan instruction in particular skills. Those skills that are supplemented with lesson plans in section three are given an asterisk mark in the table of skill components in section two. We hope these lessons prove to be helpful to teachers as they plan. Many thanks to the high school teachers of Loudoun County Public Schools who served on the committee and helped put this document together: Ed Brosh Potomac Falls HS Steve Celio Broad Run HS Linda Gross Dominion HS Michiko Jarrett Loudoun County HS Amy Oldknow Heritage HS Jeff Rounsley Park View HS Kent Staneart Loudoun Valley HS Stephanie Turek Stone Bridge HS William F.

Explain to the students that they are real estate developers. Their current job is to solicit investors for a rehabilitation project of a specific plot of land. (Choose one from history or make up your own). They must convince the investors to invest their money by showing—with evidence--what this plot could develop into in 50-100 years. The development team members must cite historical and geographic evidence for their reasoning.
The students are to work in cooperative groups. Each “development team” is to be given information on a particular region’s geographic features (water sources, mountains, mineral deposits and other natural resources, mountains, deserts and any other pertinent topographic information) and historical factors (level of technology, whether they have been conquered or conquerors, economic activities, etc…).
o Two groups should have the same historical and geographic information, as this can further drive home the concept of simultaneous cultural uniqueness and underlying similarities. (See the follow up lesson for rationale)
In their groups the students will take the information and project how this society will grow based upon the given historical and geographic information. They should frame their work around questions such as:
o What type of society could you build here? Why? Political structure: who holds the power, organization Social structure: social classes (based on what?), gender roles Economic structure: how is wealth defined, economic activities Religion: main beliefs, presence in daily life, rituals, traditions Technology: level of development, function, transportation Intellectual: art, writing, communication
Once in their groups the students should choose roles: o Team Lead: in charge of managing the team, ensuring productivity and a co-author of the written
portion of the presentation o Creative Director: in charge of visual structure and artistic concept of presentation as well as
incorporation of content
109
o Human Resources: in charge of actually presenting the group’s rehabilitation strategy--including creating the “development materials” for the investors
o Principal Research Manager: in charge of the logical sequencing of the presentation and co-author of the written portion of the presentation.
Summary: The students will work in groups to analyze geographic and historical data about a region to hypothesize how this area will be structured politically, economically, socially and so on in the future. The students will act as “Developers” and create a presentation on their given region to potential “investors.” After the student presentations, the teacher should give a short presentation of the real geographic/historical context the class is currently studying or about to study. There should be class discussions and maybe reaction paragraphs written about how their predictions for their plots of land mirror or contradict the real historical situation presented by the teacher. Evaluation/Assessment: This lesson will be assessed through the students’ presentations. The presentations need to include a visual element (power point or poster) as well as handouts to be given to the potential “investors.” The handouts need to include why the development team has made these projections. Assessment can also be done through a reading of the student paragraphs on their “predictions” and the real development of a historical society. Follow-Up Assignment: (Depending on the skill development of the class and the time available). Combine the two groups that had the same background information and have the students compare and contrast their presentations. The students should discuss why two groups given the same information arrived at both similar and different conclusions about their societies and hypotheses for that society’s growth.

Lesson Plan for: WH3: Recognizing universal commonalities without erasing cultural uniqueness: Understanding the underlying causes for similarities and differences among societies and cultures. Time frame in school year: January Amount of time: 60 minutes Lesson Objective: Students will be able to…
Comprehend and summarize textual readings Visually represent the meaning of the word “nationalism” Organize and categorize historical information Compare and contrast Italian and German unification
Text/Materials Used:
McDougal Littell Modern World History Chapter 8 Section 3 German and Italian unification student handouts and completed overhead
Procedures/Activities:
Begin class having the students create a pictograph for the word nationalism – meaning the students write the word nationalism in a manner that its meaning is evident. For example the students could capitalize “nation” in nationalism and create a flag on the l.
Explain/discuss the connection between feelings of nationalism and the desire for self-determination/independence.
Distribute the student handouts and have the students use their text pages 235-238 to complete the handout. (This can be done individually or in pairs)
Using the overhead of the completed handout discuss German and Italian unification. Have the students look at the maps on page 235 and 237 while you discuss. Teacher and students should address the following question(s) together: 1. Why were the countries we know as Italy and Germany today not unified in the early 1800s? 2. What cultural similarity had prevented them from becoming unified as nation-states during the early part of the 19th Century?
Bring two to four students together and have them analyze the data on unification and each list 5 differences and similarities between German and Italian unification.
On the board have the students record the similarities and differences. Do not let students repeat characteristics. Have students in pairs explain why the similarities and differences occur and then come back together as a class to share.
Summary: Students will take notes on German and Italian unification and solidify their knowledge of these historical events through a comparison of the two unification processes. Evaluation/Assessment: Give each pair an opportunity to participate during the discussion portion to assess comprehension. Collect one list from each group of similarities and differences. Evaluate responses during the class activity explaining why there are similarities and differences. For example, if both countries used war as a unifying agent, discuss why they used this method; analyze the effectiveness of war as a method; connect the use of war to encouraging nationalism. Follow-Up Assignment: During study of the interwar period, again compare Germany and Italy – this time in terms of Hitler and the Nazis vs. Mussolini and the Fascists.

ITALY GERMANY Situation Before Unification
Italy divided into 4 parts: *Northern Italy ruled by Austria *Southern Italy ruled by France (Kingdom of Two Sicilies) *Papal States *Piedmont-Sardinia
German Confederation of 39 states led by the Empire of Austria-Hungary and Prussia (strongest) 1848: unsuccessful revolutions (as did Italy)
Leaders (with dates and position)
1) 1848: Mazzini created Young Italy 2)1852: Cavour led Piedmont-Sardinia 3)1860: Garibaldi led Southern Italian nationalists known as the Red Shirts
1) 1861: Wilhelm I – King of Prussia 2)1862: Otto von Bismarck - Prime Minister of Prussia who led unification effort
Methods (for achieving unification)
1) Mazzini and Young Italy: focused on youth (under 40) and led revolts 2)Cavour used diplomacy, alliances (one with France against Austria and helped Garibaldi in the Southern Italy), and war (against Austria) 3)Garibaldi and the Red Shirts used war
1)Wilhelm I strengthened military and chose Bismarck to be Prime Minister 2) Bismarck used realpolitik (“any means necessary”) to unite Germany. a. allied with Austria to defeat Dutch b. intentionally started the 7 Weeks War with Austria to gain control of Northern Germany c. intentionally started another war with France (Franco-Prussian War) to unite all areas of Germany in common enemy (use of nationalism)
Results 1) Mazzini inspired others, led Republican government in Rome (but his 1848 revolts largely unsuccessful) 2)Cavour’s first goal was to strengthen Piedmont-Sardinia and in the process he ended up unifying Italy! 3) Garibaldi successfully united Southern Italy and agreed to unite Southern Italy with Cavour’s Northern Italy. Mixed Results: Italy unified, but suffered socially, politically and economically
1) Wilhelm I obviously chose the right man to unify! 2) Bismarck’s policies were successful: a. defeated Dutch and split land with Austria b. Beat Austria to claim all of Dutch land and Northern Germany – thus uniting E, W, and N Germany c. Beat France to inspire Southern Germany to join E,W, and N Germany. TOTAL Success: One of the great European powers (along with Great Britain) thus, defeat Congress of Vienna’s plan of balancing power!

Lesson Plan for: WH3: Recognizing universal commonalities without erasing cultural uniqueness. Give reasons for why cultures that have commonalities developed differently. Time frame in school year: June Amount of time: 90 – 120 minutes Lesson Objective: Students will be able to…
Summarize the impact of imperialism on the African continent Identify unique characteristics of African nations and the causal agents behind that uniqueness Assess reasons for the differences among Kenyan, Algerian, Congolese, South African, and Ghanaian
independence Analyze similarities among aforementioned newly independent African nations
Text/Materials Used:
McDougal Littell Modern World History Chapter 18 Section 3 and Chapter 19 Section 2 Internet Computer lab
Procedures/Activities:
Students are present day investigative reporters with an assignment of global significance. They are to research an African nation’s struggle for independence after domination by imperialist countries using their text as the foundation and the internet for additional information. As a class and under teacher direction, students should fill in a matrix of comparison on the African nations listed in this lesson. They should list characteristics of all 5 nations under the categories of “colonial history,” “music, art, religion,” “political/economic organization,” and “social structure.”
o They must then write an article including the following: An outline of the nation’s path to independence An identification of the nation’s unique cultural qualities An explanation for why this uniqueness persisted despite foreign oppression/influence
Compile all of the articles together to create a class newspaper on African independence and culture. Students are to individually read the newspaper and write a letter to the editor discussing how nations
with a common background of imperialism developed differently and uniquely. These letters to the editor will also be compiled and added to the newspaper.
Summary: Students will write an article explaining the unique features of their African nation and the route their nation took to gain independence to create a whole class newspaper. Students will then read the class newspaper and individually write a letter to the editor explaining how nations with a common background of imperialism developed differently and uniquely. Evaluation/Assessment: Newspaper articles as essay, short answer quiz for whole class on contents of entire newspaper. Follow-Up Assignment: Students will write a free-write on the concept of a global society. The following prompts will be used: How can a society be both global and individual? What are global values and traditions? How can you retain your national uniqueness and share in the global society? What are values/traditions/customs unique only to your culture?

Lesson Plan for: CS7: Understand difference between primary and secondary sources. Time frame in school year: September (first day of school) Amount of Time: 60-90 minutes Lesson Objective Students Will Be Able To:
Create primary sources relating to their own lives. Investigate and analyze historical evidence. Comprehend the difference between primary and secondary sources. Discuss the benefits and limitations of primary and secondary sources.
Text/Materials Used:
1. Information from the Library of Congress’ “What are Primary Sources?” available at: http://memory.loc.gov/learn/lessons/psources/source.html
2. Student Activity and Evidence Worksheet 3. Analyzing Evidence Worksheet
Procedures:
1. On the Activity and Evidence Worksheet, instruct students to brainstorm a list of significant activities and events from their lives. As they brainstorm the list, ask students to also think about the evidence they might leave behind from that activity (for example, if they enjoy basketball, they might leave behind a ball or a net).
2. Students should then assemble 5-7 pieces of evidence that they feel represents their beliefs, motivations, interests, or ideas. Explain to students that they are to imagine a horrible catastrophe has struck the earth and this evidence will be the only evidence of their existence. This assignment may be completed for homework.
3. The next day, students should exchange their evidence with another member of the class. Students should independently complete the Analyzing Evidence worksheet.
4. Ask students to introduce their partner to the class by reading the biography completed on the Analyzing Evidence worksheet. Ask students to correct any incorrect information shared by their partner.
5. Using the activity as a springboard, introduce students to the idea of primary and secondary sources. Focus questions might include:
Give an example of a primary source you encountered during this activity. How did you guess what the meaning of the primary source might be? Did the secondary or primary sources prove to be more reliable? Were there any advantages to the secondary sources?
Summary: This lesson could be used as an icebreaker activity on the first day of school. The purpose of the activity is to let students see how easily the meanings of primary sources can be distorted when others have the opportunity to interpret their meanings. Evaluation/Assessment: The quality of the evidence submitted by students, along with the Analyzing Evidence worksheet. Follow-Up Assignment: As a review, ask students to create evidence for a historical figure from the Renaissance. Students should construct the evidence and include it as part of a Renaissance time capsule. As a class, “excavate” the time capsule and attempt to identify the historical figure that would have left the evidence behind, categorize the important figures, and ascertain the significance of each artifact.
115
Activities and Evidence Directions: In the column labeled “An activity I enjoy is…,” list 7-10 activities you enjoy or important events in your life. In the column labeled “The evidence for this is…,” list evidence that proves you enjoy the activity or remember the event.
An activity I enjoy is… The evidence for this is…
116
Thinking About Historical Evidence
• Did you create any records of your activities (a diary, notes to yourself, a letter to a friend or relative, an e-mail message, a telephone message)?
• Would traces of your activities appear in records someone else created (a friend's diary, notes, or calendar entry; a letter or e-mail from a friend or relative)?
• Would traces of your activities appear in school records? in business records (did you write a check or use a charge card)? in the school or local newspaper? in government records (did you get your driver's license or go to traffic court)?
• Would anyone be able to offer testimony (or oral history) about your activities (who and why)?
117
Analyzing Evidence
Directions: Attempt to answer the following questions for each of the pieces of evidence you received. Think about the creator’s purpose and motivations for each object. Object: Who created the
source and why? Was it created
through a spur-of-the-moment act, a routine
transaction, or a thoughtful, deliberate
process?
Was the creator a neutral party, or did
the creator have opinions or interests
that might have influenced what was
recorded?
Was the source meant to be public or
private? Did the recorder have
reasons to be honest or dishonest?
Was the evidence created during the event, immediately after the event, or after some lapse of time? How large a lapse of time?
118
Given the evidence left behind by this person, what kind of person was he/she? In the space below, write this person’s biography. Where were they from? What were his/her interests? What were the significant events in his/her life? Why did those events matter? Write at least 5 sentences in the space below. __________________________________________________________________________________________

Lesson Plan for: CS7: Understand bias and reasons for author bias Time frame in school year: late January-early February Amount of time: 1 ½-2 blocks Lesson objectives: Student will be able to:
Identify important features of the Industrial Revolution Understand bias and reasons for author bias Evaluate and analyze evidence of author bias
Text/Materials Used: Various websites centered on the Industrial Revolution, especially http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/Textiles.htm, Memories of Industrialization handout, Pictures from the Industrial Revolution, scissors, glue, construction paper, etc. Procedures/Activities
1. Students should already have some familiarity with the causes of the Industrial Revolution and the changes in society produced by the event. Give each student a copy of the Memories of Industrialization handout and one picture from the Industrial Revolution.
2. Tell students that this picture is to be their inspiration. They are living the life in the picture. Using evidence gathered from texts or from the internet, students are to create a scrapbook of the Industrial Revolution from the perspective of the person or people in their picture. Each scrapbook must contain four pages: size of cities, living conditions, working condition, and emerging social classes.
3. Discuss with students the idea of perspective and bias. How might a wealthy industrialist have a different view of the industrial revolution than textile worker? What different types of evidence might they leave behind to display their opinions?
4. Give students time to research the Industrial Revolution in the library or computer lab. Provide students with a list of helpful links to guide their research.
5. Give students time to assemble their scrapbooks. Encourage students to write newspaper articles that might have appeared at the time, or a journal or diary entry the person in the picture might have written.
Summary This activity encourages students to see that different groups of people can interpret similar events in a multitude of different ways. The activity also allows students to express their creativity through an interactive activity. Evaluation/Assessment: Each scrapbook should contain four pages, each exploring a different facet of the Industrial Revolution. Students should also remain faithful to the depiction of the Industrial Revolution in their assigned pictures. Historical evidence and data should be apparent throughout the scrapbook. Follow-Up Assignment: Ask students to go through their scrapbooks and choose one piece of evidence on each page that they consider the most biased. Ask students to write down the evidence and a short sentence about why they feel the evidence is biased in some way. Students could also hypothesize about less biased evidence that could have been used in place of their original evidence.
120
Assignment Your group will be assigned a picture meant to represent an aspect of your life during the Industrial Revolution. Over the next two days, you are to assemble a scrapbook from the
perspective of your picture depicting the person’s experiences during the Industrial Revolution. You will have two days in the
computer lab to complete this assignment. Assignment Specifics Each scrapbook will feature four pages. The four pages will be titled: Size of cities, living conditions, working conditions, and emerging social classes. Below is a chart detailing some the characteristics each page should feature. Effects of Industrialization Size of Cities • Growth of factories, bringing job seekers to cities
• Urban areas doubling, tripling, or quadrupling in size. • Factories developing near sources of energy. • Many new industrial cities specializing in certain industries.
Living Conditions • No sanitary codes or building controls. • Lack of adequate housing, education, and police protection. • Lack of running water and indoor plumbing. • Frequent epidemics sweeping through slums. • Eventually, better housing, healthier diets, and cheaper clothing.
Working Conditions • Industrialization creating new jobs for workers. • Workers trying to keep pace with machines. • Factories dirty and unsanitary. • Workers running dangerous machines for long hours in unsafe
conditions. • Harsh and severe factory discipline. • Eventually, higher wages, shorter hours, and better working
conditions.
Emerging Social Classes • Growing middle class of factory workers, shippers, and merchants. • Upper class of landowners and aristocrats resentful of rich middle
class. • Lower middle class of factory overseers and skilled workers. • Workers overworked and underpaid. • In general, a rising standard of living with some groups excluded.
121
Keep in mind that different people will interpret events differently. For example, if you have a picture of wealth gained through the Industrial Revolution, your scrapbook will probably emphasize the new opportunities of the Industrial Revolution (inventions, cheaper prices). If you are someone who suffered because of the Industrial Revolution, your scrapbook will emphasize the drawbacks to industrialization (disease, injury, low pay, long hours). Ideas You will be provided with a list of Internet sites that will help you find information for this project. Remember, you’re creating a scrapbook, therefore, much of what you present will be depicted visually—look for pictures or create your own pictures if necessary. You also need to rely on primary sources. Use the sources to create letters, journals, newspaper articles, &c. List other ideas below:

Lesson plan for: Make summative statements assessing authors’ views: CS7 Time frame in school year: Early May Amount of time: 1 ½ to 2 blocks Lesson Objective:
Identify various points of view in the Cold War. Compare and contrast the perspectives of various Cold War leaders Compose summative statements assessing the views of Cold War leaders
Text/Materials Used: Modern World History: Patterns of Interaction Chapters 17 and 19, Cold War People worksheet, Cold War Yearbook instructions, access to Microsoft Word or Microsoft Publisher. Procedures/Activities:
1. Introduce students to basic ideas concerning the Cold War. 2. Using chapters 17 and 19 in Modern World History, students should complete the Cold War
People chart, filling in the country, important cold war events, and significance. 3. Give each student a copy of the yearbook directions and assign students one of the cold war
people to research further. 4. Give students time in the computer lab to complete their yearbook page for their persons under
study. Ask each student to print out his/her page once you have verified that it contains all of the elements.
5. Arrange student desks in a circle. Give each student his/her yearbook page. Instruct students that they will now sign each other’s yearbook pages. In order to complete this phase of the project, students must be aware of their person’s beliefs, ideas, motivations, and point of view on major cold war events. Ask students to exchange yearbook pages. From the perspective of their historical figure, students should sign each yearbook with a message that displays the conflict or consensus that the two historical figures would have had.
6. Collect all yearbook pages and make one copy of each for each student. Summary: This assignment forces students to understand multiple points of view on major events from the Cold War. Signing the yearbook requires students to be extremely familiar with their historical figure and to summarize how his ideas fit with another historical actor that may be from another era or belief system. Evaluation/Assessment: Assessment should be based on the quality of the yearbook page and the depth of historical knowledge displayed in the signatures on the page. All information on each yearbook page should remain faithful to the historical experiences of the Cold War leaders. Follow Up Assignment: In addition to looking at the Cold War through the eyes of the individual leaders, ask students to work together to create a page for countries affected by the Cold War. These pages could serve as the “clubs” in the yearbook. Appropriate countries to include might consist of the United States, the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Cuba, China, Vietnam, etc. Each group would tell its version of the Cold War from the perspective of the assigned country.
130

Lesson plan for The Renaissance: CS15 Time Frame: Early September Amount of time: 30 minutes Objective: The student will be able to identify definitions found in reading selections or textbook. This will be a useful part of developing overall textbook reading strategies. Materials: Textbook (Modern World History: Patterns of Interaction) Procedures:
1) Explain how texts often include new vocabulary, and in order to help the flow of the writing, authors will include definitions in the text. It should be stressed here that authors often do not explicitly state that they are providing a definition for a term as they have used it. The teacher should pick out 4 or 5 examples of text which show how authors subtly define terms, and explain these examples to the whole class. Then, the teacher should give students a passage containing 2 or 3 subtle definitions, and ask them in pairs to write down these examples.
2) Again, teachers should note that definitions generally immediately precede or follow a vocabulary word, but are not always written out as an actual definition.
3) Have students go to Chapter 1, Section 1 in the textbook (can be done with any section). 4) Have students preview the vocabulary list for the section at the top of the page, and tell
them that these lists are good clues to use if they want to find out which terms the author will likely be defining in the text they are about to read.
5) Have them read the section, copying down any sentences that include subtle definitions 6) Have them underline the definitions 7) Review these sentences with them, asking them for their understandings through discussion
Summary: By the conclusion of this exercise students should be able to explain why definitions are included in sentences, and be able to identify these definitions when they appear. Evaluation/Assessment: Collect the list of sentences and check for accuracy. Follow-up assignment: Assign this as a regular activity throughout the year, e.g. during the Reformation unit (and possibly others). Give students reading selections that include definitions and have them underline the definitions that appear in the selection for January and June activities.
136
Lesson plan for French Revolution: CS15 Time Frame: January Amount of time: 30 minutes Objective: The student will be able to rephrase and rewrite sentences that include definitions. Materials: Brief outline of the stages of the French Revolution that includes several sentences with incorporated definitions. Procedures:
1) Explain that understanding involves internalizing information and being able to reformulate it in your own words.
2) Give an example of paraphrasing. 3) Review with students the skills of identifying definitions found in sentences. 4) Give students a selection to read about the French Revolution. 5) Have students underline definitions that appear in the text. 6) Have students rephrase and write out the sentences that include definitions. They can do
this in pairs. Ask them to use two of the new words they have learned in these sentences to define the word subtly, as part of their own, new descriptive text. Example of explicit definition in a text they might see: “ ‘Opportunity Cost’ refers to a situation where a consumer has to give up spending money on one thing in order to acquire another—thus giving up an opportunity to consume.” Example of subtle definition after they rephrase it: “My dad said that if I wanted to go to California for the summer, I would not be getting a new skateboard. So, my opportunity cost for California was missing out on the new wheels.”
Summary: Students will identify definitions that appear in sentences and be able to rephrase them in their own words. Evaluation/Assessment: Collect work and assess. Follow-up assignment: Incorporate this activity on future tests, June activity
137
Lesson plan for the modern world (post SOL current events unit): CS15 Time Frame: June Amount of time: 30 minutes Objective: The student will be able to write sentences that include definitions, but that are not specifically definitions. These should include terms that the students have not seen before. Materials: Word list for current events (Ethnic cleansing, genocide, protectionism, trade deficit, fundamentalism, etc.). These can be modified as needed. Procedures: For each word, have students write one paragraph that includes a defining sentence and accurately relates it to world affairs. Summary: Students will share paragraphs with the class to demonstrate different ways that definitions can be presented within text. Evaluation/Assessment: Teacher will either grade oral presentations of paragraphs or collect paragraphs for grading. Follow-up assignment: Include a similar assignment as an essay on the final exam.

Lesson Plan for : CS23 Recognizing logical connections within sentences and passages.
Explain and summarize an author’s point in a paragraph, passage, or statement based on language, structure and the reader’s content knowledge.
Time frame in school year: September Amount of time: 30 minutes Lesson Objective: SWBAT…
• Evaluate evidence in primary sources for its veracity, bias, and/or origin. • Summarize, in his/her own words, an author’s point in a paragraph
Text/Materials Used:
1. World History Unfolding: A MindSparks DBQ and Essay Writing Program World History: 1500 to the Present Lesson One: “Evaluating Evidence and Primary Sources”
2. The AP Vertical Teams: Guide for Social Studies “Improving Student comprehension: Primary Sources” (pages 15-47 explain the APPARTS strategy and page 211 provides the APPARTS worksheet)
Procedures/Activities: The essay-writing program from MindSparks and the AP Vertical Teams Guide hand-out are in every Social Science Department. There are detailed instructions in those books. Summary: This lesson’s intent is to have students read text using critical thinking skills, and to have them develop the “habits of mind” which try to place an author and his/her writing into a historical context. Evaluation/Assessment: On your next quiz/test, use a primary source document(s) and have students assess the reliability of the document or analyze the document using the APPARTS method. Follow-Up Assignment: For homework or “processing out,” find a primary source for today (21st century) and have students assess its reliability—perhaps using the History Alive “skill builder” technique in pairs.

Lesson Plan for : CS23 Recognizing logical connections within sentences and passages.
Make predictions about what succeeding sections of a passage will contain given previous points and ideas in earlier statements and phrases in the passage.
Time frame in school year: December Amount of time: 30 minutes Lesson Objective: SWBAT…
• List clues in vocabulary, tone, or background of the author which may reveal the point of view of an author
• Make hypothoses about what an author will conclude after reading just the first 1-2 paragraphs in a passage
Text/Materials Used:
1. World History Unfolding: A MindSparks DBQ and Essay Writing Program World History: 1500 to the Present Lesson Five: “Outlining and Planning Essay Structure”
Procedures/Activities: 1. Distribute document 5 on p. 81 and document 10 on p. 82 to the students. 2. Carry out a “think, pair, share” activity on these two documents, the operative question for them being: After you read ONLY the first sentence from these passages, write down what YOU think the author is going to advocate by the time he/she finishes this passage. 3. The pairs share their ideas together, then ask 4 or 5 students to write their hypothoses on the chalkboard or overhead. 4. Call on those students who wrote their answers on the board to list what clues in the heading or first sentence allowed them to make their hypothesis about what the author was going to advocate. 5. After discussion and listing on the board of “clues” students used, ask them to return to their partner. 6. Now, ask them to come up with ANOTHER hypothesis that could also have been valid given the evidence they listed for each passage. Debrief this activity in discussion. 7. Finally, ask them to consider an issue they feel strongly about, and write an opening sentence to a paragraph where they would express their views on this topic. They are to write ONLY one sentence. 8. When they’ve written their sentence, they should share it with their partner and ask the partner if he/she can identify the position they would espouse on that issue.
140
Summary: This lessons intent is to activate a student’s critical thinking by showing them that authors write for a reason, and that there is usually a point an author cares about making in his/her writing. Evaluation/Assessment: For homework, give students a prompt they would likely have an opinion for, such as, “Student Dress Codes.” Their assignment is to write their OPENING SENTENCE only in response to this prompt. This can form the basis of a bell-ringer/paired activity for next class. OR, on your next quiz/test, provide students with an essay topic and documents. Have your students create an outline/graphic organizer of the essay, or provide the first half of a primary source and have the students predict the author’s next arguments based on the given reading.

Lesson Plan for : CS23 Recognizing logical connections within sentences and passages.
Write with a consistent point using non-conflicting pieces of evidence. Time frame in school year: April Amount of time: 30 minutes Lesson Objective: SWBAT…
• Maintain a consistent point throughout a written statement • Provide supportive evidence which supports a point in a written statement
Text/Materials Used:
1. World History Unfolding: A MindSparks DBQ and Essay Writing Program World History: 1500 to the Present Lesson Seven: “Writing and Linking Supporting Paragraphs” p. 99
Procedures/Activities: Use the directions on p. 99 of the MindSparks book. Summary: This lessons intent is to develop students’ awareness, comprehension, and use of transitional phrases, and to see those phrases as integral parts of an expressive written statement. Evaluation/Assessment: On your next quiz/test, include an essay that asks students to digest 2-3 documents/sources and draw conceptual links between them. Documents such as those used in the previous lesson, on the Russian and French Revolutions, could be useful for this exercise. Check for consistent, non-conflicting arguments and supportive evidence in their writing. Follow-Up Assignment: For homework or “processing out,” ask students to find and provide two documents that support a belief they have. Then have them write an extended constructed response (more than one paragraph; not necessarily a five paragraph essay) explaining their opinion using non-conflicting pieces of evidence. This could be done in class with week-old newspapers from the library—especially the editorial or news analysis pages.
