Students will match up character traits
with historical figures who emphasized
those traits.
Students will choose three of the
character traits that are needed to be
considered a hero.
Students will also name personal heroes
who exemplify the character traits.

independently or they will be discussed
aloud.

Pre-Bucketing - By answering the 3
questions provided, students will prove
that they understand the main question.
Any misconceptions will be cleared up by
the teacher. Students will also participate

Shared Reading: DBQ Project p. 101109
Activity:
In groups, students will analyze
ocean floor.
On the ocean floor, there is a mountain range made of
volcanic mountains that divides the ocean floor into two
halves. It is called the mid-ocean ridge.
The rift zone is at the highest point of the mid-ocean ridge
where the volcanic activity adds mountains to either side of
the mid-ocean ridge.
Ocean trenches are similar to deep canyons, but they are
on the ocean floor. They are the deepest part of the ocean
basin.
The ocean basin is the bowl-like area on either side of the
mid-ocean ridge where trenches, abyssal plains, and
seamounts are all found.Abyssal plains are wide, flat
lands found on the ocean basin.
Seamounts are underwater volcanic mountains that are
not found on the mid-ocean ridge.
Documents A-E in order to formulate
opinions about Andrew Carnegie (hero or
not?). This will take two days. The
teacher will act mainly as a facilitator,
only stepping in when discussions might
lag or to provide additional guiding
questions.

Thrash-out, which is essentially a debate
with four groups: those who say Andrew
Carnegie was a hero, those who say he
wasn't, those leaning towards saying he
was, and those leaning towards saying
he wasn't. Each group will get a turn to
have one representative speak. There
will be four rounds. At the end of each
round, students will be given the
opportunity to switch groups if their
opinion has changed. The students who
are on the fence must choose a side at
the end.
