Introduction to the GeoHistoGram

Objectives: Students will be able to: Identify the elements of the GeoHistoGram Explain how the GeoHistoGram organizes knowledge Identify historical eras and major events in each

This is the basic form of the GeoHistoGram – seven vertical bars.

The GeoHistoGram has no definite beginning date. Time goes up the side, from the distant past on the bottom to the present at the top. The GeoHistoGram has no definite beginning date. The time before Era 1 is labeled Pre-history. Time goes up the side, from the distant past on the bottom to the present at the top.

from the Americas in the west to Polynesia in the east The bars represent major world regions, from the Americas in the west to Polynesia in the east Space goes across the diagram, from west on the left to east on the right.
