Download or read book Teaching for Recall and Analysis Advanced Floor Timelines for U S History written by R. Michael Pryor and published by . This book was released on 2012-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced Floor Timelines is part of the Teaching for Recall & Analysis series of books. The goal of this series is to provide educators with simple, yet powerful, tools that will enable more students to experience success in courses such as Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, etc. These courses possess end of the year, mastery-of-content, standardized exams; which are far more complex than most traditional test. Students need to recall and analyze specific content details while demonstrating a broad base of knowledge about material that was studied over the course of an entire school year. Students must possess the capability to recall previously covered material from memory, analyze it, and then evaluate the accuracy of this information. Because of these new academic challenges, many teachers feel that they do not possess the necessary "tools" to reach students who are struggling in these advanced classes. The Teaching for Recall & Analysis series provides teachers with strategies that work well for any course that requires the analysis, memorization, and then re-analysis of a large amount of content-specific material. These teaching methods and principles give educators the tools to reach students of all academic readiness, as well as teach a curriculum that possesses a vast amount of academic content. These strategies provide students with the ability to access and retrieve a board base of previously learned knowledge, which later allows them to create inferences and evaluations based on this recalled information. * Step-by-step instructions * Teacher created and classroom tested * Blends with existing educational practices * Numerous charts, pictures, and illustrations

In this first comprehensive history of graphic representations of time, authors Daniel Rosenberg and Anthony Grafton have crafted a lively history featuring fanciful characters and unexpected twists and turns. From medieval manuscripts to websites, Cartographies of Time features a wide variety of timelines that in their own unique ways, curving, crossing, branching, defy conventional thinking about the form. A fifty-four-foot-long timeline from 1753 is mounted on a scroll and encased in a protective box. Another timeline uses the different parts of the human body to show the genealogies of Jesus Christ and the rulers of Saxony. Ladders created by missionaries in eighteenth-century Oregon illustrate Bible stories in a vertical format to convert Native Americans. Also included is the April 1912 Marconi North Atlantic Communication chart, which tracked ships, including the Titanic, at points in time rather than by their geographic location, alongside little-known works by famous figures, including a historical chronology by the mapmaker Gerardus Mercator and a chronological board game patented by Mark Twain. Presented in a lavishly illustrated edition, Cartographies of Time is a revelation to anyone interested in the role visual forms have played in our evolving conception of history

Book excerpt: What is understanding and how does it differ from knowledge? How can we determine the big ideas worth understanding? Why is understanding an important teaching goal, and how do we know when students have attained it? How can we create a rigorous and engaging curriculum that focuses on understanding and leads to improved student performance in today's high-stakes, standards-based environment? Authors Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe answer these and many other questions in this second edition of Understanding by Design. Drawing on feedback from thousands of educators around the world who have used the UbD framework since its introduction in 1998, the authors have greatly revised and expanded their original work to guide educators across the K-16 spectrum in the design of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. With an improved UbD Template at its core, the book explains the rationale of backward design and explores in greater depth the meaning of such key ideas as essential questions and transfer tasks. Readers will learn why the familiar coverage- and activity-based approaches to curriculum design fall short, and how a focus on the six facets of understanding can enrich student learning. With an expanded array of practical strategies, tools, and examples from all subject areas, the book demonstrates how the research-based principles of Understanding by Design apply to district frameworks as well as to individual units of curriculum. Combining provocative ideas, thoughtful analysis, and tested approaches, this new edition of Understanding by Design offers teacher-designers a clear path to the creation of curriculum that ensures better learning and a more stimulating experience for students and teachers alike.
