Today’s Assignment
Today’s lesson is a review of timelines which are tools that help historians understand events in context and see causes and effects. This activity will reinforce students understanding of chronology and using timelines to represent history. Students have studied ancient civilizations in BC/BCE time periods. To help further clarify why this time period is different from our current time period, students will discover how historians use the BCE, CE and BC, AD systems and learn why the 1800s are the 19th century.
Students will READ six short excerpts and demonstrate comprehension by answering a multiple-choice question. There is a total of 6 short reading passages with one multiple choice question for each passage. This portion of the assignment will take approximately 30 minutes (5 minutes for each passage and question) to complete.
