6.H.2.2 Compare historical and contemporary events and issues to understand continuity and change || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Literacy Standard(s)**=== || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Learning Target/Task Analysis**=== The student will understand: Repeated issues and events do not necessarily result in the same outcomes. Historical issues and events are often mirrored in contemporary issues and events. For example: Parallels can be drawn between the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 CE and the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami to exemplify continuity. Consequences are similar: thousands of people died; thousands more were displaced from their homes; in each case, warning signs were ignored; and each region experienced severe physical and ecological changes. While these events took place almost two thousand years apart, they produced similar consequences. The student will know: Important current issues and events.
