Analyzing Used to show the interaction of a complex event (an election, a nuclear explosion) or complex
phenomenon (juvenile delinquency, learning disabilities). Key frame questions: What are the factors that cause
X? How do they interrelate? Are the factors that cause X the same as those that cause X to persist?

Analyzing Used to describe a central idea: a thing (a geographic region), process (meiosis), concept
(altruism), or proposition with support (experimental drugs should be available to AIDS victims). Key frame
questions: What is the central idea? What are its attributes? What are its functions? (NCREL, 1988) See:

Graphic Organizers - Analyze

Historical and Cultural Context - provides an overview of art movements and

the context in which they developed. We have not covered every movement or period,
rather selected snippets to help provide students with an opportunity to explore the
elements that have influenced other artists in their quest for expressing personal voice. As
with all of our work, this site remains a work in progress.

Wow, validation.
