TO: Global History and Geography Teachers:

The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. William Arthur Ward American scholar, author, editor, pastor and teacher

"Every revolution was first a thought in one man's mind"

Ralph Waldo Emerson The increased movement toward smaller high schools has provided an opportunity to organize curriculum to support social studies departments so that the delivery of instruction, in every high school, is similar and reflective of the highest standards. The movement of students between and within high schools and the rigors of a Regents course make the need for a common body of knowledge delivered in a regular time frame a necessity in all schools. This document is intended to provide all Global Studies 3 teachers with the essential framework to deliver content. This course of study is to be taught in the first semester of the tenth grade and includes units five and six of the New York State Core Curriculum for Global Studies. We encourage the members of the Social Studies community within your school to collaborate in planning the use of the pacing guide sharing their expertise and interest in the teaching of the content in this course. Each unit in the curriculum is divided into topics. Each topic is given a time frame for implementation. In order to meet the differentiated needs of the students, teachers are given a range of class periods to complete the topic. The document provides lessons with aims and student objectives for each topic. These objectives provide staff with the content knowledge that students should know to achieve the aim and ensure preparation for the Regents. We urge teachers to adhere to the lessons and supervisors to monitor their implementation. The suggested resources/documents section offers teachers a variety of locations to find background material and primary source documents for that lesson. The lessons are designed for student class periods of 45 minutes. Schools with different schedules should adjust the pacing of the lessons to meet their needs. Many of the lessons may require more that one class period. The depth of instruction and the needs of

your students will determine the number of class periods needed to implement each lesson. We have built in some flexibility in the pacing of the lessons to guarantee completion of the course of study by June. Engaging and challenging students and student interaction in a lesson are the critical ingredients in providing quality instruction. Student participation through the use of documents has proven to be a successful tool to deliver content and understanding using higher level thinking skills. We have included a sample lesson plan based on Lesson # 42 as an illustration of how you can create a classroom activity based on this calendar. In an effort to assist you planning active learning we have provided you with Bloom’s taxonomy in order to better engage the students in higher level reasoning skills. Finally we would like to express our sincere appreciation to the following educators who gave of their time and expertise to develop this document. These are the most experienced social studies experts in the region and their tireless work will benefit all of our teachers and students.

Teacher Name______________________________ Class _________ Date _______

Connection (5 minutes)

We have seen how western powers took control of parts of Asia and Africa. Ask the class to make predictions about the reactions of the indigenous (native) people to western control. (List their ideas on the chalkboard.)

Whole Group MINI LESSON (10-12 Minutes) * Content – Skill Point * Set purpose for Document focus

Critical Thinking: Modeling: Teacher will read the following quote by a British general, “However well educated and clever a native may be, and however brave he may prove himself, I believe that no rank we can bestow on him would cause him to be considered an equal of a British officer.” Lord Kitchner quoted in World History, Patterns of Interaction (2005) Ask students to critique the attitude of the British general and discuss the possible reaction of the indigenous population. Elicit responses from students and conduct whole class discussion. Students should compare their critique to this quote with the list created at the start of the lesson.

Small Group (18-20 Minutes) * Learners in pairs/groups read independently * Learners discuss documents in groups * Learners reconvene to interact on findings

Distribute Handout entitled “Sepoy’s Decision.” In this task, the students will pretend to be sepoys. Explain to the students that they will need to react to the rumor that the cartridges the British are supplying are greased with either beef or pork fat. This violates the religious beliefs of the sepoys’ who are both Hindu and Muslim. Break the class into groups of four. Each group will decide on what course of action to take based upon the choices given on their worksheet (see below). As a group, they will debate the benefits/ disadvantages of each course of action and then develop a consensus as to which course of action they will follow.

Whole group * Summarize Learnings * Write in Soc. Stud. Notebook * Discuss next lesson

Each group will present their findings. Ask them to explain the reasons for their decision. Based on their findings have the class come to a consensus about what they would have done if they were sepoys at this time. Distribute document (Selection One below) summarizing the Sepoy Mutiny’s impact. Students will read the document and in a whole group, will discuss the results of the mutiny a turning point in Indian history.

Lesson assessment and comments

Students should assume the role of historians. For homework have them write a brief essay explaining why the Sepoy Mutiny should be considered a major event in Indian history.

SEPOYS’ DECISION You are a sepoy, an Indian soldier paid to serve in the British army stationed in India. The year is 1857 and the British East India Company controls three-fifths of India. Like other Indian people you have come to resent the presence of the British in your country. For a century now, the Company has exploited your people. Indian craftsmen and merchants have been forced to accept whatever cheap payment for their goods the British offered. Indians who argued were beaten. You have been angered by the violation of your customs and traditions, but because your livelihood depends on the British, you have cooperated with them. Your British commander has just given you a new rifle. There is a rumor that its cartridges—the ends of which you must bite off—are to be greased with either beef or pork fat. But this practice would violate both Hindu beliefs and Muslim beliefs. In Hinduism, a cow (the source of beef) is a sacred animal—perhaps, the reincarnation of an ancestor. While most of the sepoys in the regiment are Hindu, some are also Muslims. For them, pork is considered impure and must not be eaten. Several soldiers were jailed by the British for their refusal to accept the cartridges. Many sepoys then revolted. The rebellion spread and Delhi was captured and spread to a large part of India. Activity: Directions: You are a sepoy and have to decide what action you personally would take under the circumstances. Below are several alternatives. As a group decide which of the following four courses of action your group would take. In considering your decision make a prediction as to how you think the British will respond. Write a paragraph explaining your position. Choice 1 Accept the cartridges and risk violating your religion. Choice 2 Leave the army even though most good jobs depend on the British. Choice 3 Refuse to obey the orders to use the cartridges and join fellow sepoys in the rebellion. Choice 4

SELECTION ONE:

Why the Rebels Failed

• Native Indian states, influenced by the example of powerful Hyderabad, did not join the rebels

• Sikh soldiers of the Punjab area remained loyal to the British throughout. The Sikhs were a strong, well trained army, who the British had conquered using Indian soldiers.

• The aging Bahadur Shah was neither a brave general, nor an astute leader of the people

Epilogue

In England, the mutiny proved the last straw on the heavy load of criticism and opposition which the East India Company had carried for some time. In August 1858, by the Act for the Better Government of India, its political authority was entrusted to a secretary of state. In August 1858 the British crown assumed control of India from the East India Company and in 1877 Queen Victoria was crowned empress of India. The mutiny played a pivotal role in Anglo-Indian history. The British afterward became cautious and defensive about their empire, while many Indians remained bitter and would never trust their rulers again. It was not until the emergence of Indian National Congress and Mahatma Gandhi that Indians re-gathered their momentum for home rule. Source: http://www.kamat.com/kalranga/itihas/1857.htm

The role of critical thinking in the teaching process

Studies suggest that young people perform best when they are involved. This refers to various aspects of active learning activities that will be suggested throughout this web guide. All of the active learning approaches require students to engage in critical thinking exercises that are essential to attain high levels of student achievement. Planning such activities will necessarily, involve the integration of various aspects of Bloom’s Taxonomy of High Levels Reasoning. Below is a summary of that material.

BLOOM'S TAXONOMY

In 1956, Benjamin Bloom headed a group of educational psychologists who developed a classification of levels of intellectual behavior important in learning. Bloom found that over 95 % of the test questions students encounter require them to think only at the lowest possible level...the recall of information.

Bloom identified six levels within the cognitive domain, from the simple recall or recognition of facts, as the lowest level, through increasingly more complex and abstract mental levels, to the highest order which is classified as evaluation. Verb examples that represent intellectual activity on each level are listed here.

1. Knowledge: arrange, define, duplicate, label, list, memorize, name, order, recognize, relate, recall, repeat, reproduce state.

2. Comprehension: classify, describe, discuss, explain, express, identify, indicate, locate, recognize, report, restate, review, select, translate,

3. Application: apply, choose, demonstrate, dramatize, employ, illustrate, interpret, operate, practice, schedule, sketch, solve, use, write.

4. Analysis: analyze, appraise, calculate, categorize, compare, contrast, criticize, differentiate, discriminate, distinguish, examine, experiment, question, test.

5. Synthesis: arrange, assemble, collect, compose, construct, create, design, develop, formulate, manage, organize, plan, prepare, propose, set up, write.

6. Evaluation: appraise, argue, assess, attach, choose compare, defend estimate, judge, predict, rate, core, select, support, value, evaluate.
