How do we study the past?
This lesson will introduce you to the
key conceptual devices world
historians and geographers use to
organize the past. Please take out
a sheet of paper and something to
write with.
At the end of class today you
should be able to do the following:
I can identify and explain the ways
historians organize information.
( You should and I will ask you to )
The 2 ways that historians organize
information that we will be looking
at today are:
1. Periodization
2. Geographical Perspective
Write down the ten most significant
events in your life in chronological order
• things like your birth, the birth of a sibling,
a move, starting high school, first time you
played a sport, winning an award, etc

• June 2012 Christian moves to Michigan
Now:
• Take a couple of minutes to look at each others
timelines- how are they alike and how are they
different?
• You have created a periodization scheme just
as historians do. This is a helpful way of
breaking human history down into more
manageable time periods to study.
• Take a look at the table of contents of your
textbook- how have the authors decided to use
periodization?
World historians will organize information
using a geographical perspective. World
historians use larger spatial frames like
the globe and the “interregion,” as well as
smaller ones such as region or nation.
Local/regional, interregional, and
global are the three geographic
perspectives historians use to
organize information based location.
Local Perspective
Interregional Perspective
Global Perspective
Historians use
Geographic Perspective and
Periodization together
to organize information
Between the World Wars 1920s and 1930s
Local/Regional
Interregional
Global
Dearborn Heights
consumerism
United States
Imports/Exports
The World

Specific details
Very broad,

I can identify and explain the ways
historians organize information.
