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.

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.
