\u201cMaybe like Haiti when they lost all their trees? Or the emus! But why would someone migrate for health?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After submitting their Mock Trial research from last week\u2019s showcase, 9th Grade World Historians dove into some history of western South America in their new unit, centered on the essential question: Why do people move? Students generated all the reasons they could think of why people would individually or collectively leave one area for another. Their ideas ranged from \u201cfor adventure\u201d to \u201cfor love and education\u201d to \u201cbecause you have to, like it\u2019s not safe where you are or someone makes you.\u201d They defined emigration\/immigration and considered scenarios for moving that might be categorized as a \u201cpush\u201d or a \u201cpull.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n[You might go] because you have to, like it\u2019s not safe where you are or someone makes you.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
They also continue to add new moments to their group\u2019s world history timeline, then giving feedback on an assigned peer\u2019s timeline additions. They read the short article \u201cA Century of Refugees\u201d and considered it alongside data on ways that migration is accelerating in the last decade or so, and involuntary migration more so than voluntary. In keeping with a year-long routine they also used their atlases to solve a series of game-like, map clues to answer \u201cWhere is Carmen San Diego?\u201d And they reviewed requirements for a podcast project, where each student will analyze a recent event in world news and tie it to historical trends between 1492-2000 along an assigned theme, like conflict and cooperation, migration and identity, environment and progress, and more. Through their thematic studies of world history, our students are building a wide range of skills for practicing history\u2014they are map makers and readers, researchers and analysts, philosophers and curators, writers and creators. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
