About This Lesson
Students were taught to examine continuities and changes over time in their community, using evidence such as maps, photographs, biographies, and other materials. They also developed a timeline for their community, including important events and examining changes in their community in terms of cause and effect. As a final activity, the class would construct the New York City Over Time Wax Museum. For more resources from the National Council for the Social Studies, visit http://www.socialstudies.org/
