Snapshots
from the 1920s to about 2008

What These Snapshots
CanNOT Do
Memorization fails unless you:
· Do something (such as solving problems using the multiplication tables you memorized)
· Use the facts to understand (such as being able to explain accurately and in a common sense way those facts to your smart cousin who never heard about history)
Memorization becomes less and less effective as time goes by:
· By Exam 3, memorization does not work with Reading Quiz questions because of how many of them there are
· With Exam 3, memorization fails because in this period of United States History so many things are going on in so many places with so many interconnections
What These Snapshots
Can Do
You can use this snapshots to help:
·
To understand how the events covered in the
reading quiz questions fit together
·
To identify facts you need to understand in
order to prepare for the terms you must write about
Snapshots for 1950s
through 1970s and for 1980s through about 2008
Each snapshot is in two formats—vertical if you want to print it easily and horizontal if you want to look at it from a PC or the Internet. If you want to download these files to your computer so you do not have to be in Blackboard to use them that is fine with me.
