The Global Context is important because students are able to discover the significance of historical content. Students receive the answer to the question, "why do we learn history?"

Key and related concepts and global context need to be incorporated into SoI

Once we have the statement of Inquiry the unit just seems to flow together much easier.

it is important to develop a clear understanding of the scope and breadth of the conceptual understanding you want to address in each

unit

Michael

Use preferably 2, max of 3, related concepts per unit

The statement of inquiry guides the entire unit plan. As well as being able to practice writing an actual unit plan.
