WH.H.2 Analyze ancient civilizations and empires in terms of their development, growth and lasting impact. Unpacking (What students need to understand). These can be used to write your enduring understandings. WH.H.1 Chronological thinking is the foundation of historical reasoning—the ability to examine relationships among historical events and to explain historical causality. WH.H.1.2 Historical passages are primary sources that provide first-hand testimony or direct evidence concerning a topic under investigation. Historical narratives are researched stories or accounts that describe or interpret historical events. Comprehending a historical passage requires that it be read to reveal the humanity of the individuals and groups who lived in the past. What, for example, were their motives and intentions, their values and ideas, their hopes, doubts, fears, strengths, and weaknesses? Comprehending a historical passage or narrative requires the appreciation for and the development of historical perspective— judging the past in consideration of the historical context in which the events unfolded and not solely in terms of personal and/or contemporary norms and values. How then did the social, political, cultural, or economic world of certain individuals and groups Page 4 World History Scope and Sequence/Pacing Guide 2014-2015 possibly influence their motives and intentions, their values and ideas, their hopes, doubts, fears, strengths, and weaknesses? WH.H.1.3 Historical analysis involves more than a single source. Such an analysis would involve a rich variety of historical documents and artifacts that present alternative voices, accounts, and interpretations or perspectives on the past. The study of history is subject to an individual’s interpretation of past events, issues, and problems. There is usually no one right answer, one essential fact, or one authoritative interpretation that can be used to explain the past. Historians may differ on the facts they incorporate in the development of their narratives and disagree as well on how those facts are to be interpreted. Thus, written history is a “dialogue” among historians, not only about what happened but about the historical interpretation of why and how events unfolded. Historical issues are frequently value-laden and subsequently create opportunities to consider the moral convictions that possibly contributed to those actions taken by individuals and groups in the past. The past inevitably has a degree of relevance to one’s own times. WH.H.1.4 Historical inquiry, the research or investigation of past events, often begins with a historical question. Historical questions typically address “how” and/or “why” past decisions were made, past actions were taken, or past events occurred. Historical inquiry, the research or investigation of past events, requires the acquisition and analysis of historical data and documents beyond the classroom textbook. Historical inquiry, the research or investigation of past events, will allow them to analyze preexisting interpretations, to raise new questions about an historical event, to investigate the perspectives of those whose voices do not appear in the textbook accounts, or to investigate an issue that the textbook largely or in part bypassed. WH.H.2.1 Topography, climate and natural resources of a region influence the culture, economy and life-style of its inhabitants. Location affects a society’s economic development. Geographic issues can lead to the migration of people and result in the spread and adaptation of ideas, customs and technologies from one group of people to another. Human response to the physical environment comes with consequences for both the environment and human interdependence. WH.H.2.2 As a society increases in complexity and interacts with other societies, the complexity of government increases. Page 5 World History Scope and Sequence/Pacing Guide 2014-2015 Distribution of power in government is often the result of how it is organized combined with contemporary values and beliefs. Culture and society shape and change how a government is organized and carries out responsibilities. WH.H.2.3 Written codes of law establish legal rules and regulations that govern a society as well as inform those in the society of acceptable and unacceptable behavior. Unifying laws into a written “code” can be a unifying factor for a society while reflecting also duties and obligations of those in the society. Both effective distribution of power in government and order within a society can result from the creation of a written code of laws. WH.H.2.7 Territorial conflicts lead to the rise and fall of empires. The movement of people, goods and ideas bring about the rise and spread of new belief systems that may unify societies --but they may also facilitate major sources of tension and conflict. WH.H.2.8 Religion and economics shapes an empire’s social hierarchy and as a result the lives of various groups of people. Slavery changes as contact among cultures increases and societies become more sophisticated. The hierarchal structure of society influences the development of civilizations. Social class and caste systems compartmentalize and limit diversity within society Unpacking Historical Understanding “Unpacked” Concepts (What students need to “Unpacked” Skills (What students must be able to do) know) I CAN STATEMENTS WH.H.1.1 Use Chronological thinking to: WH.H.1.1 1. Identify the structure of a historical narrative or story: (its I can deconstruct the temporal structure of various types of beginning, middle and end) historical narratives or stories.

I can use a variety of primary and secondary sources together to support a conclusion about an interpretation of history. I can reconstruct the literal meaning of a historical passage by identifying who was involved, what happened, where it happened, what events led to these developments, and what consequences or outcomes followed. I can differentiate between historical facts and historical interpretations but acknowledge that the two are related; that the facts the historian reports are selected and reflect therefore the historian's judgment of what is most significant about the past. I can analyze historical data and sources beyond written passages or narratives in order to clarify, illustrate or elaborate on data presented in historical passages or narratives. This data includes historical maps. I can analyze historical data and sources beyond written passages or narratives in order to clarify, illustrate or elaborate on data presented in historical passages or narratives.

I can use specific criteria to critique competing historical interpretations of past events in order to differentiate between expressions of opinion and informed hypotheses grounded in historical evidence. I can use specific criteria to judge the relevance of the past to contemporary events and their own lives through a variety of classroom settings such as debates, simulations, and seminars. WH.H.1.4 I can formulate historical questions by deconstructing a variety of sources, such as historical narratives and passages, including eyewitness accounts, letters, diaries, artifacts, photos, historical sites, art, architecture, and other records from the past. I can collect historical data from a variety of sources to help answer historical questions.
