IB:
Where We Are
in Place and Time
In Unit 3 we will look at how life for
students today is different from how it was in the past. We will explore
the ways it has changed and how it has stayed the same.
Weeks 1/2 We will talk
about how homes have changed over time. Students in groups will create 4
different homes from different times. They will also make a timeline
showing how the homes changed.
Weeks 3/4 We will explore how clothing for students has changed from the past and compare it to clothing from today.
Click here to see our History in a trunk assembly!
Weeks 5/6 Students will do rotations with other classes to explore different activities from the past, i.e. games, making butter, paper dolls, etc...) and discuss their connection to today.

This unit, we are practicing how to think about things that have already happened. Events and our own behavior that we are either proud of or that we want to change the next time.
