Chronological and Spatial Thinking

  1. Students compare the present with the past, evaluating the consequences of past events and decisions and determining the lessons that were learned.
  2. Students analyze how change happens at different rates at different times; understand that some aspects can change while others remain the same; and understand that change is complicated and affects not only technology and politics but also values and beliefs.
  3. Students relate current events to the physical and human characteristics of places and regions.

Historical Interpretation

  1. Students show the connections, causal and otherwise, between particular historical events and larger social, economic, and political trends and developments.
  2. Students recognize the complexity of historical causes and effects, including the limitations on determining cause and effect.
  3. Students interpret past events and issues within the context in which an event unfolded rather than solely in terms of present-day norms and values.
