27. History: told in space and
time

28. We are all familiar with the story of the five blind men and an elephant.

29. Similarly, given different tools, a student can examine history in different levels of detail
We can use maps which allow us to see where we are in relation to other things
Different types of maps for different occassions
It is particularly important to understand that in the study of history, one perspective is not necessarily “better” than another.

30. Example: A MIDWIFE’S TALE
[      ] was unwell in ye forenn. [       ] Dind here. I was calld at 11 oclok to mr Tolmans, a fatagueing Ride; accompanied by [   ] Tolman to the Fort,from thence by Asa Williams. found mrs Tolman Delivd of a fine son, but before I left, put her to Bed Safely
A clear Day. I was unwell all Day. was calld to Nathan Tilars at 11 at Eving.
Sund. a fine Day, my Birth Day; fifty [years] old. was at Tilars, Mrs Tilar unwell.

31. In working with the interactions of space and time, it is important for students to understand that the scales of both are independent of each other.
Studying a long period of time (2000 BC to 2000 AD) in one area (such as China or the Middle East)
Studying a shorter span of time (80’s decade) on a world- wide pespective

33. GEOGRAPHY – the study of earth and its physical features
Place
Location
Region
Human-Environment
Interaction
Movement

34. Timelines are based on different “concepts” of time: linear VS cyclical
“Chronology” - the arrangement of events in order of occurrence
“Periodization” - the organization of events or the division of timeline into different “periods”
History and Time

35. HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
Like a typical story, history has some sort of a “plot”. This “plot” is told and understood using different “Analytical Perspectives” in History: e.g.,
Chronological VS Thematic,
Panoramic VS. Close-Up,
Individual VS. Community, etc.
