Here we are updating our study guides for the textbook, History of US. The routine is as follows:
we read and discuss (and frequently act out) each chapter together in class, table partners help each other take notes on key elements, then there's a general discussion about what we learned.
The study guide pages include: the chapter title, the student's personal reactions/feelings and key words explained. Soon students will be asked to write the theme of each chapter in one sentence. In addition, students identify who the chapter was about, and their distinct perspectives or points of view. Then they jot down the problems or conflicts mentioned in the chapter, and the solutions or resolutions of those conflicts, if any.
All this is known as "mapping" the chapter. Any questions?
