69 Generative BIG IDEAS Generative ideas (BIG IDEAS)= basic truths regardless of context or point in time. The ultimate goal is NOT for students to remember the specific details of how an generative idea is manifested for a particular invention… but rather to thoroughly understand the generative idea itself. Thus, not just about learning about specific wars, inventions, etc. but rather is about thoroughly understanding how humans have functioned in the world over time.

70 War BIG IDEAS predictable patterns of how wars unfold Pre-war Threads Origins of wars Generative Warfare Strategies How all wars are always won or lost Post-war Threads Predictable futures based on the victor’s post-war behavior

71 Pre-war Big Ideas All wars begin with FEAR about something related to Opportunity, Safety, and/or Values ECONOMY Ability to produce and trade food and goods & increase ones standard of living? SPACE/LAND The size or shape of their country? … amount of space available for its citizens? MOVEMENTHow people move or have been moving? EXPLOITATIONHaving their resources exploited by other countries? –OR- opportunities to exploit another country A country may engage in war if it fears its OPPORTUNITY is threatened in any of the following areas:

77 Big Ideas @ War Strategies All wars are won or lost based on a country’s enabling and disabling strategies Enabling strategies: What you do to enable yourself to win Disabling strategies: What you do to cause the other side to lose

78 Big Ideas @ War Strategies 5 critical areas for targeting enabling and disabling strategies Military Preparedness Politics Psychology Resources Operations

79 Big Ideas @ War Strategies All wars are won or lost based on a country’s enabling and disabling strategies Enabling Strategies TRAINING What the country does to prepare and motivate the military to fight in the kinds of conditions they will face. NUMBERS Amount of trained reserves that can go into battle & ability to draw on its population for more soldiers WEAPONSAvailability of weapons (& ammunition) & their appropriateness for the conditions Disabling Strategies TRAINING What the country does to know the degree of preparation and motivation of the enemy’s military NUMBERS Degree attrition is used to reduce enemy reserves & its ability to draw on its population for more soldiers WEAPONSAbility to reduce the availability or effectiveness of the enemy’s weapons Military Preparedness

80 Country War or Conflict © 2002 Edwin Ellis www.GraphicOrganizers.com The Role of Military One of five basic elements for winning wars Point in time e.g., BEFORE the war, EARLY in the war, MIDPOINT of the war, LATE in the war Enabling Strategies for Helping itself WIN Disabling strategies for helping the enemy LOOSE Training What the country does to prepareand motivate the military to fight in the kinds of conditions they will face. Numbers Amount of trained reserves that can go into battle & ability to draw on its population for more soldiers Weapons Availability of weapons (& ammunition) & their appropriateness for the conditions Training What the country does to know the degree of preparation and motivation of the enemy’s military Numbers Degree to whichattrition is used to reduce amount of enemy reserves & ability to draw on its population for more soldiers Weapons Ability to reduce the availability or effectiveness of the Enemy’s weapons

81 Big Ideas @ War Strategies All wars are won or lost based on a country’s enabling and disabling strategies Enabling Strategies STABILIZING Ensuring leaders within the country support war efforts; minimizing impact of those who do not PARTNERSHIPS Ensuring leaders of other countries support and/or contribute to war efforts; minimizing impact of those who do not; forming treaties & coalitions (creating partnerships with other countries) Disabling Strategies DESTABILIZING Causing to enemy’s government to fail ISOLATING Preventing the enemy from forming partnerships with other countries Politics

82 Country War or Conflict © 2002 Edwin Ellis www.GraphicOrganizers.com The Role of Politics One of five basic elements for winning wars Point in time e.g., BEFORE the war, EARLY in the war, MIDPOINT of the war, LATE in the war Enabling Strategies for Helping itself WIN Disabling strategies for helping the enemy LOOSE National Politics Ensuring leaders within the country support war efforts; minimizing impact of those who do not International Politics Ensuring leaders of other countries support war efforts; minimizing impact of those who do not Forming treaties & coalitions Creating partnerships with other countries Destabilizing Causing to enemy’s government to fail Isolating Preventing the enemy from forming partnerships with other countries

83 Big Ideas @ War Strategies All wars are won or lost based on a country’s enabling and disabling strategies Enabling Strategies PATRIOTISM Persuading its citizen’s to support the war and to make sacrifices (rally ‘round the flag) DECEPTION Fooling its citizens by minimizing “bad news” concerning war efforts (defeats, causalities, etc.) PROPOGANDA Portraying itself a good and the enemy as evil Disabling Strategies DEFEATISM Persuading the enemy’s citizens to oppose the war; persuading enemy soldiers to want to give up. DECEPTION Fooling the enemy about its ability to fight or its intentions PROPANGDA Exaggerating its prowess & inevitability of enemy’s defeat so the enemy will believe it cannot win. Psychology

84 Big Ideas @ War Strategies All wars are won or lost based on a country’s enabling and disabling strategies Enabling Strategies PRODUCTION Increasing the amount of food, supplies, & weapons it produces or can attain TRANSPORTATION Increasing its ability to move food, weapons, or resources to where it is needed. COMMUNICATION Increasing ability for military to secretly communicate Disabling Strategies PRODUCTION Decreasing its enemy’s ability to produce or attain food, supplies, & weapons TRANSPORTATION Decreasing its enemy’s ability to move food, weapons, or resources to where it is needed. COMMUNICATION Decreasing ability of enemy’s military to secretly communicate Resources

85 Big Ideas @ War Strategies All wars are won or lost based on a country’s enabling and disabling strategies Enabling Strategies GET READY Anticipating conditions & developing extensive plans for stopping the enemy’s ability to wage war GET SET Organizing resources (weapons, equipment, supplies) & preparing soldiers for unique conditions GO! Using over-whelming force so that its strongest will focus on the enemy’s weakest link Disabling Strategies REDUCE CAPABILITY Destroy enemy access to weapons & supplies, communication abilities, leaders & troops SURPRISE & CONFUSE Attack in ways the enemy does not anticipate and ways that maximize enemy confusion REDUCE WILL Make it hard to keep fighting and easy and desirable to surrender Operations

86 Post-war Big Ideas 5 typical behaviors of victorious countries… Abandonment Exploitation Occupation Reconstruction Impose Restriction The behavior of the victorious country results in predictable futures

87 Post-war Big Ideas The behavior of the victorious country results in predictable futures BIG IDEA: Defeated countries are always weakened, so new forces (within or outside the defeated country) always emerge and change the defeated country. These changes may be desirable or undesirable. ABONDONMENT The victorious country withdraws and leaves the defeated country to its own resources to react to the defeat and/or recover from the war.

88 Post-war Big Ideas The behavior of the victorious country results in predictable futures BIG IDEA: Defeated countries are always weakened, so they are vulnerable to being exploited by external forces (e.g., victorious country) and/or internal forces (people or organizations within the defeated country) EXPLOITATION To gain wealth and power, the victorious country takes advantage of the defeated country by stealing, enslaving, and/or manipulation

89 © 2002 Edwin Ellis www.GraphicOrganizers.com Victorious Country Defeated Country Point in time After the War -EXPLOITATION To gain wealth and power, the victorious country takes advantage of the defeated country by stealing, enslaving, and/or manipulation Big Idea: All wars end with exploitation, reconstruction, occupation, restriction, and/or abandonment Big Idea: Defeated countries are always weakened, so they are vulnerable to being exploited by external forces (e.g., victorious country) and/or internal forces (people or organizations within the defeated country) Weakened aspect of defeated country Ways the PEOPLE of the defeated country were exploited Ways the RESOURCES of the defeated country were exploited Ways the defeated country’sTRADEwas exploited... Long-range IMPACT...

90 Post-war Big Ideas The behavior of the victorious country results in predictable futures BIG IDEA: There are four kinds or purposes of occupation: Provide a new place for the people of the victorious country. Provide a temporary government until a new one can be developed for the defeated country. Impose restrictions on the government of the defeated country. Control citizens as defeated country’s resources are being exploited. OCCUPATION People from the victorious country move to the defeated country and stay there either temporarily or permanently.

Provide anew place for the people of the victorious country Provide atemporary government until a new one can be developed for the defeated country Impose a set ofrestrictions on the government of the defeated country Control citizens of defeated country as its resources are being exploited Who occupied the defeated country? What happened to the citizens of the defeated country during the occupation? Long-range IMPACT of the occupation?

92 Post-war Big Ideas The behavior of the victorious country results in predictable futures BIG IDEA: By helping the defeated country recover from the war, the victorious country greatly influences the future behavior and policies of the defeated country. RECONSTRUCTION The victorious country helps the defeated country recover from the destruction of the war.

93 © 2002 Edwin Ellis www.GraphicOrganizers.com Victorious Country Defeated Country Point in time After the War -RECONSTRUCTION The victorious country helps the defeated country recover from the destruction of the war. Big Idea: All wars end with exploitation, reconstruction, occupation, restriction, and/or abandonment Big Idea: By helping the defeated country recover from the war, the victorious country greatly influences the future behavior and policies of the defeated country. Reconstructing the country’s GOVERNMENT Reconstructing the country’s INFRASTRUCTURE How leaders are selected... How laws & policies are made... How laws & policies are enforced/implemented Food production... Manufacturing... Transportation systems (roads, bridges, railroads, etc.) Long-range impact

94 Post-war Big Ideas The behavior of the victorious country results in predictable futures BIG IDEA: Restrictions are always short-term solutions to long-term problems. Other things must change for the problems to become solved on a long-term basis. IMPOSE RESTRICTIONS Restrictions are designed to prevent the capitulating country from engaging in specific acts that are problematic to the dominating country.

96 Invention Threads BIG IDEAS generative ideas about inventions

97 Three dimensions for understanding the significance of inventions... Pre-invention Conditions The Invention Features Post-invention Impact

98 Pre-invention Conditions BIG IDEAS All inventions begin with a need or a problem to be solved All inventions are built upon previous knowledge.

99 Pre-invention Conditions Think-sheet

100 BIG IDEAS of Invention Features All inventions are designed for attaining one or more these goals: 1. Imposing force to efficiently attain goals (e.g., weapons) 2. Making transportation more efficient 3. Making communication more efficient 4. Making work easier or more efficient 5. Making food production more efficient 6. Organizing 7. Entertaining 8. Making beings safe, protected & healthy 9. Meeting spiritual needs

101 BIG IDEAS of Invention Features 2. All inventions are designed to meet a set of parameters. A parameter is a criteria or condition upon which a new invention is targeted to attain. learners focus their attention on the critical features of the invention itself, and as a result, become very familiar with the invention’s features. 5 key parameters of an invention… FUNCTION What is the invention supposed to do? SPEED How quickly must the invention work? APPLICATION Who must be able to use the invention? LOCATION Where should the invention be used? COST Who is supposed to pay for the invention?

102 BIG IDEAS of Invention Features 3. Successful inventions begin as a prototype and evolve through trial and error via testing and use. Key questions What were the features of the prototype? Strengths? Weaknesses? How did the prototype evolve? What does it look like today?

103 Invention Features Think-sheet

104 BIG IDEAS of Post-Invention Impact 1. Substantial inventions affect people in both positive and negative ways 2. Substantial inventions always re-define problems to be solved.

105 Post-Invention Think-sheet

106 Geography Threads The BIG PICTURE the role of geography throughout history To study geography is to study how a particular place on earth has impacted the humans who live there and how humans have impacted that place. One of the best ways to understand the history of humans is to investigate the geography in which they live.

107 Two dimensions for understanding the significance of geography... The culture and knowledge of a people and factors that impact the evolution and spread of these The features of a place and how they impact (and are impacted by) people

108 Geography BIG IDEAS Earth is DYNAMIC (constantly changing)

109 BIG IDEA:Earth is DYNAMIC (constantly changing © 2002 Edwin Ellis www.GraphicOrganizers.com Dynamic Earth geography think-sheet Region or Country PLACE ON EARTH … years AFTER point in time POINT IN TIME … What caused the changes from that point to this point? years BEFORE point in time What caused the changes from that point........ to this point? What caused the changes from that point......to this point? DESCRIPTION OF PLACE

110 Geography BIG IDEAS The ROLE of something is dynamic (changes) relative to TIME.

111 BIG IDEA:The SCALE of something is dynamic (changes) relative to TIME © 2002 Edwin Ellis www.GraphicOrganizers.com Role & Time geography think-sheet Role of … years AFTER point in time POINT IN TIME … years BEFORE point in time What role does it play in life? At this place … Because of the role it plays (or doesn’t), what is life like? Because of the role it plays (or doesn’t), what is life like? Because of the role it plays (or doesn’t), what is life like? So what? What is important to understand about this?

112 Geography BIG IDEAS The SCALE of something is dynamic (changes) relative to TIME.

113 BIG IDEA:The SCALE of something is dynamic (changes) relative to TIME © 2002 Edwin Ellis www.GraphicOrganizers.com Scale & Time geography think-sheet Scale of … years AFTER point in time POINT IN TIME … years BEFORE point in time How large or widespread is it? At this place … Because of its scale at this time, what are things like? Because of its scale at this time, what are things like? Because of its scale at this time, what are things like? So what? What is important to understand about this?

114 Geography BIG IDEAS People affect the landscape; the landscape affects what people can do.

115

116 Geography BIG IDEAS An region’s location on earth determines its resources and weather; this then impacts the way people live.

117

118 Geography BIG IDEAS Every place has features that PULL (attract) people to move there, and factors that PUSH them out (make them want to leave).

119

120

121 Geography BIG IDEAS The nature of an area’s borders relative to its neighbors impacts the culture of that area.

122

123

124 Geography BIG IDEAS Natural and human-made features will enable and/or inhibit the influence of outsiders on a place.

125

126 Geography BIG IDEAS The amount of influence something (or someone) has decays with increasing distance.

127

128 Geography BIG IDEAS Ideas, techniques, and customs usually spread from large to small places (hierarchical diffusion).

129
