Today's Classroom Learning Activities:
1. Warmup: Read the rest of the "What is History?" packet. - You can download a copy of the packet by clicking here.
2. Drew symbols for each of the Aspects of Human Development (SMERFCAPS).
3. Quiet study of the SMERFCAPS. Memorized the definitions and explanations for each of the 9 Aspects of Human Development.
4. Oral Drill: SMERFCAPS
5. The History of History: One of the Aspects of Human Development/SMERFCAPS is Culture. One subject you can study in cultural history is history. You can actually study "the history of history." For example, you can study the "history of the history of slavery," the "history of the history of Texas," and the "history of the history of the United States." Many historians 100 years ago were saying that slavery was a good system, that the slaves were treated well by their masters, were given plenty to eat, good housing and clothing, and were basically happy to be slaves. Later historians began to describe slavery as a harsh, evil system in which slaves were treated brutally, were fed, clothed, and housed poorly, and were basically very unhappy to be slaves. You can read more about the history of the history of slavery here.
6. The Relationship between Social Groups & Culture: Sociology and culture are often closely interrelated. Different social groups often have unique ways of entertaining, educating, and expressing themselves through their own music, art, dance, movies, language, etc. We brainstormed various groups of students here at Lamar and then split into six groups. Each group was responsible for identifying the music, dress and grooming, movies, t.v. shows, lingo, dance, etc., favored by each of the Lamar groups (emos, goths, nerds, IDS, band, etc.).
