  1. Four Worlds of History Attention all recipients of this file: First, thank you for opening this powerpoint and considering using it!  Whether the file was sent to you directly from Teresa or relayed by a colleague, CALIS and USC rely on your professionalism for proper credits and sourcing: Materials developed by or through CALIS are made available online via a database that serves as a digital file cabinet of teaching resources. The Activities Database is a free resource in support of teachers, students, and curriculum reform. When teachers or other CALIS partners write, adapt, or collaborate on materials—they are cited. The source information includes their affiliated schools or organizations. As others download and further adapt these materials—all credit and source lines, for teachers as well of for USC CALIS, should remain in tact as the original source. Slides that refer directly to items on the CALIS Activities Database have the item referenced. This file was first created for an LAUSD workshop (Aug 2014) that has been postponed. Teresa Hudock, Director, CALIS 213-740-7794 or calis@usc.edu usc.edu/calis Initial Launch: August 5, 2014 This Edition: Aug 21, 2014 Slide Count: 75
