Description: 25 Digital Image Flash Cards with 'past' or 'present' option buttons. Students can play this game independently or in pairs using a hand-held device, classroom computers or for home learning. Teachers will find these useful for projecting onto the classroom screen for whole class discussion starters and fun way to look at change over time for Humanities and Social Sciences Units. TASK CARD FOCUS: similarities and differences in family life over recent time (continuity and change, perspectives) and how people may have lived differently in the past (empathy). As students continue to explore the past and the present, they begin to speculate about the future (continuity and change). This set of Past or Present Flash Cards is a great way to stimulate class or small group discussion about changes over time, possible reasons why and how things have changed (e.g. faster, more efficient, cheaper, look different, easier, improved inventions, more colourful, different styles). What else can the students recall that they know have changed over time? Inquiry Questions: How has life changed or remained the same over time? How can we show and discuss that the present is different from or similar to the past? How do we describe the sequence of time? How the present, past and future are signified by terms indicating time, as well as by dates and changes that may have personal significance.
