Students will identify new technologies in the United Statesin the early 1900’s

This objective is an example of Level 1. The highest demand for students to successfully meet this expectation requires them to use recall of information to identify new technologies during a specific time period.

Students will describe the physical features of the regions of the world.

This objective is also an example of Level 1 with the expectation requiring a recall of a description.

Students will compare different historians’ descriptions of the same event in history.

This objective is an example of Level 2. Students would be required to determine the differences and/or similarities in the descriptions of the same event by two or more historians. This engages the students in a process of basic reasoning that goes beyond simple recall.

Students will analyze how changes in technology, costs, and demand interact in competitive markets to change the price of goods.

This objective is an example of a Level 3. The expectation in this objective is that students will know the changes, will see the cause and effect of those changes, and then will analyze why these changes have occurred. There is the process of application of understanding of the concepts of supply and demand to a specific time and place through the specific technology, the costs, and demand in the market place.

Students will apply the protections guaranteed in the Bill of Rights to an analysis of everyday situations.

This objective is another example of Level 3. Students are required to use a combination of recalled information about the protections in the Bill of Rights and the impact of the Bill of Rights in order to apply to a given situation.

Students will research and analyze mapped patterns in order to develop strategies that can be applied to the solution of problems.

This objective is Level 4. Students are required to analyze and synthesize information from multiple sources in order to translate this information into strategies. These strategies must then become part of a plan that would be applied to a specific problem.

Students will demonstrate understanding of the Earth’s physical environment as a set of interconnected systems by analyzing the ways that humans have perceived, reacted to, and changed environments at the local/or global level and developing a plan to implement a change.

This objective is also a Level 4. Students are required to research the necessary data to analyze a specific situation in order to develop a plan to implement change
