How to do Identifies Chapter Key Words/Vocabulary Terms

2 What is an Identify? An Identify defines and explains a concept, event, or person. The purpose is for students to know the concept and understand its historical significance related to other concepts, events, and overall historical context and understanding.

3 Steps to Completing an Identify
Read the assigned Give Me Liberty! chapter thoroughly. Reading the chapter first will provide perspective on the contextual significance of the Identify. Identifies are located in the “key terms” section of the chapter review pages at the end of each chapter. Write the term and its applicable historical theme(s) and underline. [see below for themes] Define/describe the concept/event. “What/who is it?” Explain the contextual significance of the concept, person, or event in relation to associated historical concepts and its historical context within the historical period. “How does this fit in the historical narrative? How does this connect to the overall theme of the chapter/time period? How/why is it so important in the big picture?” Identifies will require more than one sentence to complete steps 3 and 4. Avoid minimalist effort. Identifies will serve as historical evidence for in-class discussions and historical writing responses and essays. The purpose is to not only know facts, but understand and connect them to relevant historical issues, concepts, and developments over time.

4 Example of an Identify 1. Renaissance (CUL) – A period of rebirth of classical learning and development of cultural and scientific activity in Europe during the s. Developments such as improved shipbuilding and navigation and the desire for further knowledge during the Renaissance spearheaded the Age of Exploration leading to the discovery of the Americas. [NOTE: The first sentence defines/describes the term. The second sentence establishes the term within a historical context.]
