The unit is divided into four sections each consisting of slides and historical information of approximately the same period.
If the unit is taught as a supplement to the 6th Grade study of Connecticut History it would be most effective to present each section after the appropriate period. The unit may be taught as a course of its own.
In either case:
-
1. Teacher may read description of architectural period to students or distribute copies of the information.
-
2. Show slides. Teacher may read description which accompanies each slide.
-
3. Teacher may read historical information or distribute copies to students who could circle dates or underline information to be placed on time lines.
-
4. Time line—to be developed after each section. Use architectural periods as basis. Historical information can be filled into columns above time line. See following example.
