History…
is messy…
How do
historians
organize and
make sense of
historical
data?
Using Chronology
 History
is grounded in
chronology - events and trends
are arranged into logical
sequences to identify patterns
of change and continuity
 Continuity – things that stay the
same over time
 Change – things that evolve over
time
Patterns…
 More
than just putting
events in order…
 Means understanding why
and how one event may or
may not lead to subsequent
events (consequences!)
Where we’re headed…
 We’ll
be using chronology to
shape our understanding of
the emergence of the
modern world.
 Look
for patterns of change and
continuity throughout this unit of
study!!!
 What has stayed the same over time,
what has changed, and what are the
lasting impacts of ideas and trends
of this era?
Select the
best option
and explain
your
answer.
Indicate
whether
there was a
pattern of
change or
continuity.
