Personal Past History
The curriculum at Levels A to D provides a study of personal and family histories. Students learn about their own history and that of their family; this may include stories from different cultures and other parts of the world. As participants in their own history, students build on their knowledge and understanding of how the past is different from the present. At Level D the focus is on present and past history.
Key questions:
By the end of Level D, students identify similarities and differences between families in their class. They identify many important family events and indicate how they were commemorated. Students use images to describe a significant family, personal event, site or person of significance.
Students sequence their key milestones in order. They can sequence key events related to a significant person, building or site. They can sequence routine events. Students answer questions about their past by using a variety of sources provided. Students relate a narrative about their past using objects, images, and perspectives of other (parents and grandparents).
