India's Partition????

McCalla Hill I used this from New Visions.  It was "short and sweet.!"  Here is the Partition specific part.  Here is another one that I have used.  It is a mixture of materials.  We only spend one day on India in Unit 8.

Janet Mann these are excellent resources to include in our courses. Though the scope of Big History does not give me time to go in depth with this content, I can use it in other courses where these colonial conflicts are thoroughly covered. In fact, I saved the first to complement my teachings in AP Human Geography political boundaries.

Laura Massa Yea!  So glad the resources are useful!! Maybe my post on Hexagonal Thinking could be helpful!

Definitely Janet Mann  Exagonal thinking will be a great way to make multiple connections, but more importantly, explaining those connections and supporting claims with evidence. Thank you for the reminder!

Those resources are very helpful, Janet. Thanks for sharing!

These are fantastic resources! What grades do you incorporate all of these into? I'm teaching a class that has all the middle school age ranges in it and am trying to decide if this is too advanced for some of my 6th graders. 

Thanks for the resources, Janet Mann . 

I like the short and sweet concentration, especially when adding it as a quick dive into something else that is a bigger section.

 Janet Mann I didn't know you did Hexagonal Thinking!

A friend introduced me to that about a year ago. I think it has some good applications.

I'm trying to fit it into work in the Climate Project. Anyone have any good ideas for me?

I've been using Hexagonal Thinking as a strategy for review in my APWH course, and I think it could been a great tool for the Climate Project. 

There's so much interconnected with Climate - maybe you can have different categories of Adaptation, Mitigation, Innovation, and students can see how they might connect and work together.
