Today our 6th & 7th Graders:
- Got back their graded SMERFCAPS Quiz and received congratulations for doing so well
- Read p. 2 of What is History? on the concept of "The Past"
- Discussed the concepts of chronology and time periods
- Discussed how in studying the past we are actually studying outselves: how we became the people, collectively and individually, we are today
- Discussed how students' own pasts antedates their existence on earth, how they are partly the result of events that occurred long before they were born
- Did a couple of simple chronology problems and used wall timelines to illustrate them
- Examined a Timeline of U. S. History 1789-1920
- Tried to begin working on a Pictorial History of (SMERFCAPS), 1800-1914 but encountered temporarily (it is hoped) insurmountable difficulties using the Open Office format and spent more time examining the Timeline of U. S. History 1789-1920
