Six Concepts of DP History A thematic approach to studying history for the IB
Find your new seat! Get out your signed syllabus and personal history – I will collect them shortly.
The content in each unit is linked to the six key IB concepts…..
Six Concepts of DP History Review Since we will spend significant time with these six concepts, it is imperative you understand exactly what each means, its role in history, and why it’s important to study in IB In order to clarify and uncover the true meaning of these six concepts, you will work in a group of 4. Each group will be assigned a different historical concept to focus on. Your task: teach the class about your concept in a fun, unique and creative way.
Group Requirements A clear, concise explanation of what that concept means (do NOT just read from the handout) How that concept can be used to study history An example (either historical or modern) When studying that concept, what are some questions you may ask? (EX: causation – why did the U.S. pass this law? Perspective – how successful was this law?) A creative, entertaining, and easy-to-follow presentation (skit, poster, song, discussion, etc.) You will present these tomorrow, so be prepared!
