National/Other Standards: II.Time,Continuity,and Change. Human beings seek to understand their historical roots and to locate
themselves in time.Knowing how to read and reconstruct the past allows one to develop a historical
perspective and to answer questions such as:Who am I? What happened in the past? How am I
connected to those in the past? How has the world changed and how might it change in the future?
Why does our personal sense of relatedness to the past change? This theme typically appears in courses
in history and others that draw upon historical knowledge and habits.
III.People,Places,and Environments.The study of people,places,and human-environment interactions
assists students as they create their spatial views and geographic perspectives of the world beyond their
personal locations.Students need the knowledge,skills,and understanding to answer questions such as:
Where are things located? Why are they located where they are? What do we mean by "region"? How
do landforms change? What implications do these changes have for people? In schools,this theme
typically appears in units and courses dealing with area studies and geography. |
