  1. Four Worlds of History Attention all recipients of this file: First, thank you for opening this powerpoint and considering using it!  Whether the file was sent to you directly from Teresa or relayed by a colleague, CALIS and USC rely on your professionalism for proper credits and sourcing: Materials developed by or through CALIS are made available online via a database that serves as a digital file cabinet of teaching resources. The Activities Database is a free resource in support of teachers, students, and curriculum reform. When teachers or other CALIS partners write, adapt, or collaborate on materials—they are cited. The source information includes their affiliated schools or organizations. As others download and further adapt these materials—all credit and source lines, for teachers as well of for USC CALIS, should remain in tact as the original source. Slides that refer directly to items on the CALIS Activities Database have the item referenced. This file was first created for a partnership with Hawthorne School District, 2016-2017. Teresa Hudock, Director, CALIS 213-740-7794 or calis@usc.edu usc.edu/calis Initial Launch: July 6, 2016 This Edition: Jan 20, 2017 Slide Count: --

  22. How did kings have legitimate authority over their people? legitimate authority Political World Economic World “It is God who establishes kings. They thus act as ministers of God and His lieutenants on earth. It is through them that he rules. This is why we have seen that the royal throne is not the throne of a man, but the throne of God himself. It appears from this that the person of kings is sacred, and to move against them is a crime. Since their power comes from on high, kings… should exercise it with fear and restraint as a thing which has come to them from God, and for which God will demand an account. sacred power Social World Cultural World account Jacques Bossuet, late 1600s For over five thousands years, from the first city-states in Sumer to Hammurabi in Babylon and the pharaohs of Egypt, to the kings of medieval Europe, religious beliefs gave complete support to absolute rulers. religious beliefs support absolute rulers 10th grade Modern World History World History: Modern Times, Glencoe, 2006, page 176

  33. The Power of Words Targeting a Rich Vocabulary In the spirit of E.B. White: “Anyone who writes down to children is simply wasting his time. You have to write up, not down. Children are demanding. They are the most attentive, curious, eager, sensitive, quick and generally congenial readers on earth. They accept, almost without question, anything you present them with, as long as it is presented honestly, fearlessly and clearly. Some writers for children deliberately avoid using words they think a child doesn’t know. This emasculates the prose and, I suspect, bores the reader. Children are game for anything. I throw them hard words, and they backhand them over the net. They love words that give them a hard time, provided they are in a context that absorbs their attention.” E.B. White, American Writer, 1899–1985
