Introduction to the GeoHistoGram

Objectives: Students will be able to: Identify the elements of the GeoHistoGramIdentify the elements of the GeoHistoGram Explain how the GeoHistoGram organizes knowledgeExplain how the GeoHistoGram organizes knowledge Identify historical eras and major events in eachIdentify historical eras and major events in each

What We Think We Know All this boils down to: Have students use stuff (maps, pictures, data) Translate to remember (see it, say it, do it, use it)

Eras on the GeoHistoGram Mark the Eras on the GeoHistoGram (through Era 7) Label with title of Era Discuss the questions in your group

This is the basic form of the GeoHistoGram – seven vertical bars.

Time goes up the side, from the distant past on the bottom to the present at the top. Time goes up the side, from the distant past on the bottom to the present at the top. The GeoHistoGram has no definite beginning date. The time before Era 1 is labeled Pre-history.

Space goes across the diagram, from west on the left to east on the right. The bars represent major world regions, from the Americas in the west to Polynesia in the east
