Moves beyond a mechanistic “beginning, middle, end” formatProvides solid chronological knowledge across the entire time periodInclude dates to demonstrate the ability to describe with some precision when continuity and change happenSlide23
World Historical ContextSlide24
World Historical Context
Must provide the surrounding historical events and climate so that the reader understands what is occurring while these changes and continuities are happeningEssay relates or describes extra-regional connections or global process to explain a continuity OR change in response to the promptSlide25
World Historical Context
Example: “During the time from 200 BCE to roughly 400 CE, major empires such as the Romans in Europe, Gupta in India, Han in China, and stability in Persians allowed the Silk Roads to prosper, until disease and nomadic invasions disrupted this peace and the Silk Roads fell into disease.”“Over a period of time, Silk Roads were responsible for bringing different cultures into contact“ is NOT acceptable because of the lack of specificity.Slide26
Analyzing Process of
Change or ContinuitySlide27
Analyzing Process of Change or Continuity
Must analyze at least one reason for a continuity or changeWhy does this particular thing change? What causes that change, and why does that change occur right then and not at some other time?Why does this particular thing stay the same? Is something prevented change, or is consistency with this thing desired?Slide28
Analyzing Process of Change or Continuity
Example: “Buddhism’s popularity declined in India during the Classical period as a direct result of many factors. First, the Guptas promoted Hinduism in a period directly after Buddhist Kushan rule where Buddhism had come to be associated with foreignness. Secondly, Buddhism rejects the idea of the caste system, a social structure which was deeply engrained into Indian society as a result of Aryan and Hindu influence.”Slide29
