- Use historical thinking skills, including asking historical questions, seeking evidence, and constructing interpretive narratives
- Cite three major kinds of challenging events that can be found across time, culture, and history
- Define “Resilience,” elaborate on how resilience is expressed at the individual, family/household, and community levels
- Synthesize characteristics of resilience from three discrete historical narratives
