Teaching for Recall & Analysis: Advanced Floor Timelines for U.s. History R. Michael Pryor

Advanced Floor Timelines is part of the Teaching for Recall & Analysis series of books. The goal of this series is to provide educators with simple, yet powerful, tools that will enable more students to experience success in courses such as Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, etc. These courses possess end of the year, mastery-of-content, standardized exams; which are far more complex than most traditional test. Students need to recall and analyze specific content details while demonstrating a broad base of knowledge about material that was studied over the course of an entire school year. Students must possess the capability to recall previously covered material from memory, analyze it, and then evaluate the accuracy of this information. Because of these new academic challenges, many teachers feel that they do not possess the necessary "tools" to reach students who are struggling in these advanced classes. The Teaching for Recall & Analysis series provides with teachers with strategies that work well for any course that requires the analysis, memorization, and then re-analysis of a large amount of content-specific material. These teaching methods and principles give educators the tools to reach students of all academic readiness, as well as teach a curriculum that possesses a vast amount of academic content. These strategies provide students with the ability to access and retrieve a board base of previously learned knowledge, which later allows them to create inferences and evaluations based on this recalled information. * Step-by-step instructions * Teacher created and classroom tested * Blends with existing educational practices * Numerous pictures and illustrations
