Education in The US
Choose Education in the US or something easier to write about from that 20th timeline.
For the Grouping Assignment, students will pick between two options. Then submit their work via the Blackboard portal.
Option (A): 20th Century Timeline
1) Grouping: Using the 20th Century Timeline, analyze the information looking for any data clusters of blocks that catch your attention. Or, you might want to grab a single block of data and jump from there.
2) Patterns: Now, take a step back and look; what does the information table tell you? What events in time surround your data block(s)? Do you see a logical pattern that leads the creation of that event? Do we see any unusual activity accompanying your data block(s)? Discern where we have holes, see trends, and assess if the information is reliable. What outside research do you have to perform to answer these questions?
3) Summary: After evaluating the patterns, write a summary of your process to determine a logical conclusion.
Your overview should explain to the class what patterns you found, how you found them, and what logical conclusion you drew. The final product should include visual references of the grouped data, a few paragraphs discussing what information means and how we should interpret the data you are trying to convince exists
