Build timelines
Categorize landforms
Compare time periods, groups, and civilizations (i.e., Mayans/Incans/Aztecs, Indian Tribes, Ancient Civilizations)
Compare political parties
Compare the clothing of rich and poor in specific time periods (i.e.,Victorian times). What would it be like to wear these clothes? How would they feel?
Distinguish laws, interpretation of law, and enforcement of law
Examine primary resource materials such as historic documents and maps
Label maps
Identify branches of government, states vs national government, types of governments
Show development of cities, movement of people (i.e., immigration), developments of products (i.e., transcontinental railroad, food from farm to city)
Take virtual field trips
Trace the movement of people (i.e., authors, characters in story, movement of troops, Lewis and Clark)
