Today, students:- Raised questions about anything they didn't understand on the "CHART: Time Periods of Texas History."
- Learned of some of the abbreviations I often use:
- c. or ca. = around, approximately
- e.g. = for example
- etc. = and so forth
- i.e., = in order words
- Noted how color coding can ease & expedite the learning process
- Identified their 3 favorite time periods on the Chart and circled specific topics they would like to learn more about
- Studied the yellow section of the chart for a quiz on Monday
- Did some teacher-based review to check their learning.
- Devised and asked one another questions about the chart
- Devised mnemonic devices to help them remember the time periods and details
- Learn all of the information in the yellow section of the chart
- You don't have to recite the dates for this quiz but do be able to recognize which time period each set of dates identifies (e.g., 1519-1821 = Spanish Period; 1861-1865 = Civil War, 1865-1900 = Gilded Age. . .etc.)
