Hello all,
I am curious to hear your ideas on how you introduce the concept of scale in Big History. What activities have you used?
I started with the History of Me activity, which I love because it allows me to draw parallels between the student's choices and the way historians periodize history. I attached two examples. My students explored The Scale of the Universe and solved an ad hoc activity. We completed the Narrative and the Thresholds before representing the Human History on a String. I recorded a video when I did it in the hallway. Finally, we practiced the Threshold Concentration Card Game. Tt was a lot of fun.
