Parents

At the start of the year we introduced an acrostic to help us remember the areas of history. (SCREAMGP) This acrostic should be memorized so that kids have lots of options to think about when they create essays or study history. If you use this acrostic when examining of nations, time periods and events it will help you create a more complete understanding of history.

Science
Culture
Religion
Economics
Art
Military
Geography
Politics

Every time you consider something in history look at it through all of these lenses/categories. How did each of these areas change/shape, create who we are?
