DOROTHEA
DIX
II.
LESSON PLAN:
ESSENTIAL
QUESTION:
Can you consider
an historical figure as a hero
if that person has beliefs with
which you disagree?
STANDARDS:
- Students will analyze the
divergent paths of the American
people from 1800 to the mid-1800s
and the challenges they faced,
with emphasis on the Northeast
[State of California standard
8.6].
- Students will understand
the reform age of the mid-1800s
that made life more bearable
for the less fortunate and expanded
opportunities for many [OUSD
California History Social Science
Framework].
- Students will understand
that the present is connected
to the past. They identify both
similarity (continuity) and
difference (change) between
past and present (i.e., compare
a historical photograph of a
street scene with the same street
today). [OUSD Chronological/Spatial
Thinking standard 6]
- Students frame questions
that can be answered by historical
study and research [California
Historical and Social Science
Analysis Skills].
- Students assess the credibility
of primary and secondary sources
and draw sound conclusions from
them [California Historical
and Social Science Analysis
Skills].
- Students detect the different
historical points of view on
historical events and determine
the context in which the historical
statements were made (the questions
asked, sources used, author’s
perspectives) [California Historical
and Social Science Analysis
Skills].
