11. Warm-Up: Causality In your own words, define causality…
Cause and effect is the relation between an event (cause) and a second event (effect), where the second event is understood as a direct consequence of the first.
Explain to students that cause and effect is one of the guiding principles of the study of history. We try to understand why events happen in order to develop a comprehensive view of historical events. For any given event in history we can find a cause, and an effect – oftentimes several of each.

12. What were the causes? The American Revolution
The first man walks on the Moon
Ebola epidemic
For many events in history both the causes and effects can be unclear, complicated, or disputed. It’s not always easy to pinpoint the causes or effects, and it can require a good deal of thought and analysis. As you move forward with the lesson, encourage students to adopt a “cause and effect” focused view of historical events.

13. What were the effects? The American Revolution
The first man walks on the Moon
Ebola epidemic

17. Self-Evaluation: Document-Based Question
Read your paper out loud to yourself. (Do this in private if you are easily embarrassed.) Better yet, read it aloud to a friend so you can gain two perspectives as to whether your paper makes sense.
ASK YOURSELF: Does this essay DIRECTLY ADDRESS the question?
Notice the opening sentence of your paper, is it a “grabber?” Or, is it dull?
Underline or highlight the FACTS in your paper (that would be the NOUNS you are using as evidence).
Underline or highlight the sentences (or parts thereof) that EXPLAIN or ANALYZE the factual support.
Note: If you don’t underline much in steps 2 or 3 – there’s your problem!
Ask yourself, is there too much factual information from OUTSIDE of the time frame of the question?
Ask yourself, do I cover the entire timeframe of the question?

18. Study Sheet: Support for Period 4: (1800 – 1848)
You may put anything you like on the 3” by 5” index card given that could help you on the test…
Make sure you put your name on it, it will be collected
It may not include any forms of “deception” (i.e. multiple index cards stapled)
It is meant as a stress reliever (not stress remover)—by this I mean copying someone else’s study sheet might help in a limited way but the act of processing the information and figuring out what you know, sort-of know, and do not know will be where you stand to benefit the most!
