TEACHER EXAMPLE OF HOW TO START THIS CULMINATING
FIRST → choose a THEME from the list in PART 1. For example, #5 French-English Relations.
SECOND → choose 3 EVENTS that are about your theme →
→ 1 EVENT before the end of WW2 (For example, the WW1 Conscription Crisis in Québec 1917).
→ 1 EVENT between the end of WW2 and 1982 (For example, the October Crisis in Québec 1970).
→ 1 EVENT after 1982 (For example, the 1995 Québec Referendum).
THIRD → decide which one of your events is a moment of JUSTICE, which one is a moment of INJUSTICE, and which one is a moment of CHANGE (For example, October Crisis = JUSTICE, Conscription Crisis = INJUSTICE, and Québec Referendum = CHANGE).
FOURTH → choose 1 HISTORICAL-CRITICAL THINKING TOOL as your culminating focus, i.e., Historical Significance, Continuity & Change, Cause & Consequence, or Historical Perspective (For example, Historical Significance of the 3 events about French-English Relations).
FIFTH → find your 6 RESEARCH SOURCES. This means 2 sources for each event (For example, 2 sources about the October Crisis and how it was a moment of justice and historical significance / 2 sources about the Conscription Crisis and how it was a moment of injustice and historical significance / 2 sources about the Québec Referendum and how it was a moment of change and historical significance). So, 3 events times 2 sources = 6 sources total.
SIXTH → complete your OUTLINE using your thinking, work, and research detail from STEPS 1 to 5.
SEVENTH → select the FORMAT of your FINAL PRODUCT (For example, a visual (text and image-based) timeline analyzing the historical significance of French-English Relations by detailing a moment of injustice (the 1917 Conscription Crisis), a moment of justice (the 1970 October Crisis), and a moment of change (the 1995 Québec Referendum).
