The GeoHistoGram Introduction The GeoHistoGram shows both time (chronology) and place (region)) (Teachers will need to explain the timeline and the location grid of the GHG.) The distance between years gets progressively longer as the time moves up (closer to the present) The continents are labeled at the top. Note that Africa is between Europe and Asia, although on a map it is south of both.

Anchor Points GeoHistoGram Activity 3: Anchor Points on the GeoHistoGram

I can locate places and dates on the GeoHistoGram Anchor Points I can locate places and dates on the GeoHistoGram I can use pictures of important events as anchor points in world history.

We will mark the positions of a few pictures of key events in history. Anchor Points We will mark the positions of a few pictures of key events in history. We’ll call these seven events our Anchor Points. Instead of memorizing separate facts, we can connect new facts to what we already know. Then, when we learn about new events, we can see where and when they happen in relation to the Anchor Points.
