Understanding history through active participation: With these materials, your students engage in a hands-on exploration of historical developments and changes during the Early Modern Period. The volume closely follows the structure of the core curricula. Building a globe, designing a navigation instrument, solving puzzles: Through their own actions, your students will uncover topics such as the Europeanization of the world, revolutionary inventions, the living conditions of people, the division of the Christian Church, and absolutism as a form of governance. With its clear, student-friendly layout, your students can independently work through the materials, which offer opportunities for differentiation and deeper content exploration. All worksheets for developing the historical contexts in 6 chapters are illustrated with maps and images. The accompanying CD is included.
