Use the skills in a new task

Make four small boxes for Families and Time, one for each lesson: People Who Care for Children; Before Now and Later; Growing and Keeping Memories; A Day in Order. In each box, choose one supplied card and explain its match using the notes. Compare two of your cards: what makes their matches different? You may draw or tell an adult your answers; the adult can write them for you. Use the lesson cards; you do not need a purchase, interview, personal record or trip. For the adult helping: keep the fictional examples and historical notes distinct; these short cards do not tell every detail about a person or place.

Work on paper or in your own document. Explain the choices you made.

  • Choose one supplied card from each lesson: People Who Care for Children; Before Now and Later; Growing and Keeping Memories; A Day in Order.
  • Use the notes to name each match and explain its clue.
  • Compare two cards and say or show how their clues differ.
  • Keep the events and details as written; do not make up a quotation or new event.
  • With an adult, name one question the cards do not answer.
Compare with a model response

People Who Care for Children: The card says: “A fictional adult prepares food for a child.” That matches Care. Care is helping someone meet a need. Compare: The card says: “A fictional child builds a block tower for fun.” That matches Play. Play is doing an enjoyable activity. Before Now and Later: The card says: “A fictional child ate breakfast this morning and is now at lunch.” That matches Before. Before is earlier than now. Compare: The card says: “A fictional child is holding the pencil at this moment.” That matches Now. Now is at the present moment. Growing and Keeping Memories: The card says: “A camera photograph shows a fictional child with a birthday cake.” That matches Photograph. Photograph is a picture made with a camera. Compare: The card says: “A fictional adult remembers learning to ride a bicycle.” That matches Memory. Memory is a person’s recalled experience. A Day in Order: The card says: “Fictional order: wake, eat, play; identify waking.” That matches First. First is the earliest event in the stated sequence. Compare: The card says: “Fictional order: open book, listen, close book; identify listening.” That matches Next. Next is the event immediately after the first stated event. Adult checking note: This model uses the supplied lesson cards and notes. It does not describe every person, community or place. Answering a new question would need a matching source or a new observation.

A different response can also meet the criteria. Compare the evidence and reasoning, rather than copying the wording.
