This strategy can be adapted for different subject matters. We need to decide how to

make it work for us.

This could be confusing for the students if we stop here. We must show them how to

immediately use this information.

• Dialectical Journal• Summarize

After There are many other “After” activities. What do you use?

Information InterpretationRussia sends its army to defend Serbia the day after Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia.

This is an example of Nationalism since both the Russians and Serbians were Slavic ethnic groups.

Germany declares war on Russia the day after Russia gets involved with the war.

This is due to an alliance between Germany and Austria-Hungary. It unnecessarily makes the war a bigger conflict and could soon involve Britain and France in the war.
