Periodization

By Jeff AndersonSlide2

Periodization (Description)

Historical thinking involves the ability to describe, analyze, and evaluate different ways that historians divide history into discrete and definable periods.

Historians conduct and debate different, sometimes competing models of periodization; the choice of specific turning points or starting and ending dates might accord a higher value to one narrative, region, or group than to another.Slide3

Periodization (Expectations)

Explain ways historical events and processes can be organized into discrete, different, and definable historical periods.

Evaluate whether a particular event or date could or could not be a turning point between different, definable historical periods, when considered in terms of particular historical evidence.

Analyze different and/or competing models of periodization.Slide4

Event

Pick 3 SPRITE chart categories to describe life before event using specific evidence

Using same 3

SPRITE chart

categories, describe how life after event was similar or different using specific evidenceSlide6

Periodization

Also known as the “Turning Point” essay

Combo of CCOT and COMP essay

Describe how things were BEFORE the turning point

Describe how things were AFTER the turning point

MUST take a stand

Show or explain the limits of the impact of the turning point.

It didn’t change everything

Why was this NOT a turning point?Slide7

Process – The Question

You will be asked to do one of two things:

Evaluate a “turning point”

Must discuss developments BOTH before AND after event

Evaluate the characteristics of an era

Can discuss developments that EITHER came before OR after eventSlide8

Evaluation of Event

You must show or explain the

limitations

of the impact of the turning point

“Did EVERYTHING change after this event?”

“Do you even consider this a major turning point in World History?”Slide9
Slide10

Evaluate to what extent post WWII decolonization was a turning point in World History

.Slide12

Step 2 – Pre-Writing

Brainstorm everything you can think of that relates to your topic.

Don’t worry about categorizing anything yet, just get anything you can think of down on paperSlide13

Step 3 – Choose Categories

Pick 3 SPRITE Chart categories to use to describe life before the event.

You may use 1 or 2 SPRITE Chart categories, but you must pull a total of 3 facts/pieces of evidence out

Paint a picture for what life was like before the “turning point”Slide14

Step 3 – Choose Categories (Cont’d)

Political

Colonies were governed by viceroys or other European government officials.

Social

Political

British East India Company

Thesis

Contextualization is not required, but it doesn’t hurt to set up your thesis with a story…

Following WWII, most European nations either chose or were forced to grant independence to their colonies. Though decolonization was a huge event for many newly created independent nations, in many ways this event did not change the relationship between the colonizer and colonized. Traditional colonization simply morphed into Neo-Colonialism where European nations chose to exploit the weakened condition of many newly independent nations. Slide19

Actual Thesis Statement

Based off of social, economic, and political factors, one can conclude that post-WWII decolonization was not a major turning point in world history. Socially, the Europeans interjected themselves at the top of the social pyramid and instituted policies that were racist or culturally insensitive. Economically, European nations simply designed policies that solely benefited their bottom line profits. Politically however, European leaders were no longer directly in charge of governing their colonies. Slide20
