Standards:
Michigan Curriculum Framework: Content Standards and Benchmarks: Social Studies
Strand I: Historical Perspective.
Students use knowledge of the past to construct meaningful understanding of our diverse cultural heritage and to inform their civic judgments.
Standard 1.1 Time and Chronology.
Chronological thinking is at the very heart of historical reasoning. Without a clear sense of historical time, we are bound to see events as one big tangled mess. Events must be sequenced in time in order to examine relationships among them or to explain cause and effect.
Strand 1.2 Comprehending the Past.
All students will understand narratives about major eras of American and world history by identifying the people involved, describing the setting, and sequencing the events.
Strand II : Geographical Perspective.
Students will use knowledge of spatial patterns on earth to understand processes that shape human environments and to make decisions about society.
