1. 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
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.
