01.04 SWBS Chart and Reflection
The "Somebody-Wanted-But-So" chart is an excellent way to summarize important
information from history. In it, you identify a person or group of people; their goal,
need, or want; what conflict of interest stood in the way; and the outcome. This
strategy works great because history depends on the needs, wants, and actions of
humans.
