  20. <p><font size=-1>The history activities stress building relationships between different concepts and the ability to see the development of culture across time.&nbsp; Students should see the impact of history on the ordinary people of the time, their beliefs, lifestyle, and choices.&nbsp; Emphasis should be on concurrent trends in economics, industry, education, human rights and literature and art.&nbsp; What stimulates change?</p></font>

  37. <p><font face="Verdana"><font size=-1>The literacy activities can be used
  38. with any of the works included in the Reading Revolutions collection.&nbsp;
  39. These activities are directed toward integrating writing with a deeper
  40. appreciation of the works.&nbsp; By using the texts as a starting point
  41. for creative writing, the students will need to read closely to accurately
  42. report the ideas and reflect them in their own work.&nbsp; Dr. DeVito has
  43. described seven main approaches, each with learning objectives.</p></font></font><font face="Verdana"><font size=-1></font></font>
  44. <p><font face="Verdana"><font size=-1>Have fun with them:&nbsp; A diary
  45. of a cavalier with the Barons at Runnymeade, letters from John Adams to
  46. John Quincy Adams, Toqueville writing home to France about what he is doing,
  47. Mary Wollstonecraft writing to her husband from Switzerland about her views,
  48. and Hume and Kant debating points of philosophy are just a few things you
  49. can do with your classes.</p></font></font>
