Era 6 Problem Notebook
STUDENT MATERIALSSTUDENT MATERIALSS-1ERA 6 PROBLEM NOTEBOOKWORLD HISTORY PROJECT / LESSON 6.0 ACTIVITYPurposeEach unit of the WHP course is guided by an Era Problem. You’re learning a ton of stuff in this and every other era, and it can be hard to keep track of what’s most important. It would be pretty easy to become obsessed with a detail that, although interesting and a great way to impress people at a party, is relatively unimportant. This activity will help you stay focused! You’ll think about the Era Problems, and then you’ll respond to questions about them in writing. By keeping track of how your thinking changes throughout each era, you’ll see how much you’re learning as you move through each section of the course.ProcessUse the Era 6 Problem Notebook Worksheet to respond to the prompts as best as you can. Be prepared to talk about your ideas with your class.
