Independent Critical Thinking Once you are equipped to be a critically thinking listener and reader, then you are equipped to be an articulate speaker and writer. As your understanding of history deepens, your skills in language arts will grow. The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.

Enduring Dynamics #1 What is the connection between a society's form of government and its beliefs, ideas, and expectations? The Enlightenment: Ideas about rights & the role of government “John Locke was born in England in 1632. His thinking about government and people’s rights had a major impact on the Enlightenment… Locke denied the divine right of kings to rule. The true basis of government, he wrote, was a social contract, or agreement, among free people. The purpose of government was to protect people’s natural rights. These included the right to life, liberty, and property. In exchange for this protection, people gave government the power to make and enforce laws.” Quote from History Alive! The Medieval World and Beyond, TCI, 2005 ― Chapter 35: The Enlightenment – page 403 In Creating America– 8th grade textbook – see page 140 23

1 What is the Four Worlds model and how does it work? (transcript of student discussion) It’s a system of organizing everything that takes place into one of 4 major categories… We’re focusing on sorting. Factors can influence these four sections in any way and can be combined with any of them. Jordan, 8th grade The factors all can connect depending on one specific example and you can see originally how you place it into one category, and see how it connects to the other three worlds that you at first, didn’t think it would belong in. Audrey, 8th grade I think it’s cool how each of the Four Worlds can affect each other in many different ways like a domino effect. If one thing happens in one world, it can affect lots of other things in different worlds. Noah, 7th grade 25
2 How is Four Worlds different from other ways of learning history? (transcript of student discussion) Before [at my other school] I was just learning important dates and main ideas – basically trying to memorize it. But since using the Four Worlds, I’ve been able to see why these are important dates. Also how they affected life back then and how it affected life today. How there’s not always just a simple ‘this is the answer and it’s the only answer’. There are multiple answers, and thinking outside the box, and thinking more thoroughly than I was before.. Spencer, 8th grade The Four Worlds also helped me because it’s not just regurgitation, it’s analysis. So you can really understand the facts and condense them in a way you can understand. Madison, 7th grade 26
3 Is there one factor you recognize right away – where you recognize a pattern? (transcript of student discussion) For me, it’s infrastructure— Medieval China, Emperor Wendi reunified China …when he created more infrastructure - improved the Great Wall & the Grand Canal - it really brought China together. That’s how I think about the gateway to China’s golden age with the Tang and Song dynasties. That’s why I think infrastructure’s really important. [Can you connect to 8th grade?] Yes, during the Civil War, the Union had greater communications with other regions also in the North… more canals and railroads needed to transport soldiers as well as goods and other supplies that they needed. I thought that was a big part in how they won the Civil War. Audrey, 8th grade For me, it’s equity & access—The whole world history is all based on how much does one person have compared to what another person has. As we move forward in history… we all have the thinking of what can I do and what can I say to make it so that I can have the same rights and the same abilities as another person… So, that’s history. Spencer, 8th grade 27
Inspired by For teachers: 90 seconds to prepare in pairs, then… Pass the mic A parent sees you in the parking lot and wants to ask a quick question… What’s the four worlds thing my child is talking about? For students: You’re at a family gathering and your mom is telling your aunt about your history class being supported by USC. She asks you… Tell her about the four worlds thing. 28
Social Sciences & Language Arts Integration independent critical thinking GOAL: “Not knowing an answer is very uncomfortable. The process of good reasoning requires us to delay landing on an answer. It requires us to doubt any preconceived ideas and seek for why an answer might be wrong. [Students] must delay an answer. In order for students to deeply reason, they must sustain doubt. They must learn to enjoy the muddle of looking for holes in a theory. If we want students to reason deeply we must make this process of reasoning the main point of academics.” That's Why: Examining Reasoning and Justification Catherine Underwood and Kathryn Gullo Both are National Board Certified Teachers and UCLA Writing Project Fellows in LAUSD.
