Lesson: "New Hampshire Unplugged"
This lesson from the New Hampshire History Curriculum, Book 1, helps students understand how people
have used technology and how it affects us. Concentrating on the present day and the late 1800s, the
lesson asks students to compare the use of past and present technologies to keep warm, to communicate, to
have fun, to learn, to get and prepare food, to travel, and to get rid of trash and waste.
Lesson: "Who Needs It?"
This lesson taken from the New Hampshire History Curriculum, Book 1, helps students learn how
the economy creates ties among people and to distinguish between our “wants” and our
“needs” in society.
Lesson: "Time to Hang Out "
Events happen in time. Without memorizing meaningless lists of dates, students nevertheless need to keep
time in mind in order to see patterns and to discover possible cause-effect relationships. In this lesson from
the New Hampshire History Curriculum, Book I, students develop historical perspective by creating
and using a timeline to place in order and scale events important in their own lives, in the history
of their community, and in the history of the state.
