Change AND Continuity Over Time

Rubric Same as DBQ for thesis (groups and time period); the global issue is the topic Evidence – Rule of 3 – include three pieces of evidence (facts, dates, names, etc) to prove your thesis. These must be discussed and/or analyzed in order to count!!! What happened in the world that made this happen. Include something outside of the region. How/why was this a change? What happened? What was the process that led to change and how/why did some things STAY THE SAME?

Look closely at the prompt 1.Know that something changed and something stayed the same or they would not have asked the question. 2.Note the topic – formation of national identities. 3.Time Period – what is the significance here (hint it has something to do with war) 4.Specific countries in the region – do you know at least 3 countries in each of the regions? What about empires in the region and time period. If no, learn them before the test.

Regions Middle East – Egypt, Israel, Iran, Iraq, Turkey Southeast Asia – Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia Sub Sahara Africa – Nigeria, Sudan, Ethiopia, Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Africa

Brainstorm

Acceptable thesis statements need to address both change and continuity, with at least one of each. Need to be explicit, not restatements of the prompt or vague statements, such as “there were more changes than continuities.” Thesis Musts Address Prompt Place/Time 3 Categories/Groups 1 Continuity and 2 Changes / 2 Continuities and 1 Change Thesis

“From (this date) to (that date), (X) showed changes in (A), yet showed consistency in (B) and (C).” “From (this date) to (that date), (X) showed consistency in (A), but showed changes in (B) and (C).” “Even though (A) showed changes in (this place) at (this time), (B) and (C) continued to happen.” “Even though (A) remained the same in (this place) at (this time), (B) and (C) changed.” How to Construct the Thesis

Sample Thesis 2012: Analyze continuities and changes in trade networks between Africa and Eurasia from circa 300 CE to 1450 CE. “From ( this date) to (that date), (X) showed consistency in (A), but showed changes in (B) and (C).” From 300 CE to 1450 CE, trade relations between Africa and Eurasia showed consistency in the basic types of exports and imports as well as the importance of coastal cities, but also showed changes in the arrival of Islam, the extent and degree of trade, and the rise of new and powerful empires in Eurasia.

Introduction – Thesis Sentence Paragraph 1 – Group 1 (how it changed/continued from beginning to end) Paragraph 2 – Group 2 (how it changed/continued from beginning to end) Paragraph 3 – Group 3 (how it changed/continued from beginning to end) Conclusion (if time) The Order

Thesis – follow same rules – groups; include time period; answer question; provide broad defining categories about what changed and what stayed the same over time; include key changing event What it was (P,S,C,E,Ed, I, T) like at the beginning? What were the key changing phenomena or events What was ( P,S,C,E,Ed, I, T) like after the change? Evidence of what the conditions were like Why did the key event occur (relate to phenomena) and how did it cause change What was the same and what was different as must address continuity also Now either here or in the conclusion state how the event caused changed Map it out – Outline, tables, graphics Conclusion and make sure that the issues of the first paragraph are the same as the issues in the last paragraph.

Tips for a CCOT The continuities must be substantial, not obvious (Germans remained Germans), nor can change be continuous. Provide solid chronological knowledge across the entire time period Include dates to demonstrate the ability to describe with some precision when continuity and change happen Use the phrase throughout your paper!

Wrong Regions Wrong Time periods Not saying what stays the same No/little analysis – what did change and why did they NOT change Make a global or world connection – mention something that is happening in another region or something that is worldwide Not addressing the question (or all parts of the question) Common Mistakes
