This is a group presentation.
Horizontal study means to look at one age and compare the fundamental needs of a human during that specific time. This work done after the vertical studies and is especially relevant at the 9-12 level. Each civilization can be looked at specifically, e.g. Roman times for its housing, food, music, art, lighting, etc., etc. This is the child's first detailed research. The horizontal study is personal as it is involved with people.
Presentation
- Put down two or more sets of fundamental needs cards.
- Have the child choose one period of time and ask which part interests him the most.
- Put a red arrow at this point.
- Take away all other cards except this period of time.
- Have group work to go through all of the lamps, dresses, vehicles, heating, transportation, etc. for that one period of time.
- Now when we look at the horizontal study of 1890, we have a good impression of how humans met their fundamental needs for this period of time.
- The deepened study of a particular time's environment is the horizontal study of history.
