Each of the C3 Framework dimensions is threaded throughout the IMPACT instructional model, ensuring that students receive engaging, relevant, standards-aligned content every step of the way.
With IMPACT, Essential Questions are the starting point that shape the inquiry process—guiding student investigations into each chapter’s core concepts. Lesson Questions continue the inquiry process by prompting students to unpack historical concepts and discover unique perspectives as they analyze high-quality primary and secondary sources. Working together, the Lesson Questions build the foundational knowledge students need to address the chapter Essential Question.
Provide every student with the disciplinary tools and strategies to think like a historian, geographer, economist, and as an informed world citizen. IMPACT builds a solid foundation in these essential domains of social studies with a spiraled, developmental approach and coherent units of study—actively engaging students with a rich variety of informational texts, primary sources, media, and activities.
