Today in class, we were introduced to a new time period, 1900-present, via an article about the time period. It was a very summative article of economic, political, and social developments over those 100+ years. While reading, we created three different bubble maps that allowed us to connect different ideas together.
For me, today felt like an incredibly useful day. Information was presented in a very efficient manner that made the learning not only simple but also very helpful. I felt much better driving my own introduction into a new unit rather than having the unit intro be a class-led, slower experience. Creating my own maps, drawing my own connections, and creating and strengthening my own understanding was incredibly helpful in the beginning of this 1900s-present unit.
