Four Worlds of History

1. Four Worlds of History Attention all recipients of this file: First, thank you for opening this powerpoint and considering using it!  Whether the file was sent to you directly from Teresa, relayed by a colleague, or is among those offered on our site, CALIS and USC rely on your professionalism for proper credits and sourcing: Materials developed by or through CALIS are made available online via a database that serves as a digital file cabinet of teaching resources. The Activities Database is a free and unrestricted collection. When teachers or other CALIS partners write, adapt, or collaborate on materials—they are cited. The source information includes their affiliated schools or organizations. As others download and further adapt these materials—all credit and source lines, for teachers as well of for CALIS–USC, should remain in tact as published. This file is a combination of 4W charts that relate to materials available on the Activities Database. Slides that refer directly to items on the database have the item referenced. The file is not intended to be used with students as one barrage of 4W charts. This powerpoint is another resource for planning and training with partner teachers -- both immediately for Fall 2013 and long term.

2. Four Worlds of History Purpose of this file: This particular powerpoint is offered as an option for introducing students to “the factor sheet”. The slides are set up to have students focus on one world at a time one set of factors at a time. The use of images is intended to be of special assistance for English Learners (EL) students. However, it is important to have an intro activity available with images for the general purpose of using images as an effective way for all students to connect words with meaning and usage. The content is appropriate to any grade level, grades 6–12. However, there is a purposeful connection to 6th grade Ancient History and students’ first application of Four Worlds to Sumer. Starting with Four Worlds of Water can directly relate to Sumer. It can prepare students to more easily trace how “control over the water supply” was the necessary first step to spark the growth of city-states. It was a turning point that marked “the birth of civilization”. Many factors from this general activity on water will be the same in tracing the rise of Sumerian city-states. Today, controlling the water supply is a challenge in many parts of the world. Access to safe drinking water is a factor that inhibits the rise of developing nations. The notes section will sometimes offer clarifications or suggested steps. Additional information is offered for those courses or grade levels where further context or details may be appropriate.
