How to Write the Essay! Change & Continuity Over Time
-
Purpose • To evaluate your ability to analyze historical changes and continuities that have shaped events, social, political, economic developments in history and ability to gauge your analysis of global processes. • This is really a high-level analysis of history.
-
The Change & The Continuity What do they Mean?
-
What You Do in the Essay • This essay question deals specifically with analysis of continuities and changes over time covering at least one of the periods (or over a significant period of time) in the course outline. It addresses, for example, technology, trade, culture, migrations, or environment. • The continuity and change over time questions require analysis of process and explanation of causation with specific examples.
-
What must you do! Change • Recognize it as it occurs in history. • Identify & Understand the causes of change Continuity • Recognize factors which remain the same throughout an entire period • Identify & Understand factors which allow this to continue
-
Change Over Time • Must discuss, utilize concrete detail and analyze changes that occurred relevant to the prompt and correctly! • If the prompt discusses command terms (social and political) you need to focus on political and social changes. • If your prompt is more vague, you need to think of aspects to base your analysis • By the end of the course we will have regional CCOT charts!
-
Continuities • The prompt also asks you to address continuities, generally these are patterns or tendencies that remain the same for years and years. • You need to have concrete detail (facts) to back up your continuities.
-
Question How to read the question
-
Process the Prompt • Read the question • Determine • "What" – topic • "Who" – society or region • "When" – parameter of dates • List the Continuities • Build a timeline for Change • list events for the topic • Beginning, middle, end

Build the Essay How to Write Clearly
-
Organize your Paragraphs • You can choose several ways to organize the essay. • Period Approach • Beginning • Middle • End • Topic Approach • Political • Social • Technological, etc • I would choose Period approach for the Changes and add a Continuity Paragraph to the essay.
-
Thesis! • While _________ stayed the same, in the period from _______ to __________, _________ changed from __________ to ____________ and _________ changed from _________ to __________, This is a sample….not the best thesis!!
-
Better Thesis(es) • Unacceptable: • Islam as a political structure both changed and stayed the same during this period. • Islam was the main religion until today. • Acceptable • From 600-1258 Islam became the main focus for politics in Western Asia and North Africa, however it went from unity to fragmentation. • Excellent: • While Islam became the foundation for political structure in Western Asia, North Africa and Al-Andalusfrom 600-1258, it varied from unity to fragmentation due to fractures from power legitimization and takeover.

Write the Essay Clearly Writing
-
Introduction • Background Information • Write 2-3 sentence to set up the time period • Thesis • Put your excellent thesis at the end of the paragraph • Use your change and continuity words
-
1st Body Paragraph • Change Paragraph • Topic sentence • Set up characteristics at beginning of time period • Use specific examples and dates - evidence • Describe examples of significant changes, turning points, or developments • Use specific examples and dates - evidence • Analyze (give reasons) why each of these changes occurred • Set up characteristics at end of period • Use specific examples and dates - evidence • Describe the global context
-
2nd Body Paragraph • Continuity Paragraph • Topic sentence • Give specific examples of continuities (related to topic) in the time period • Give reasons (analyze) why these continuities occurred • Describe the global context for the continuities
-
Conclusion • Restate Thesis • Show that you have proved your case • Summarize the basic trends of the time period as related to the question
-
Rubric Proof that you Wrote Clearly
-
Thesis • 1 pt • Has an acceptable thesis. • Must be explicitly stated in the introduction or conclusion ofthe essay. • May appear as 1 sentence or as multiple (contiguous) sentences. • May not be split among separated sentences, or a mere restatement of the question.

-
Evidence • 2pts • Substantiates thesis with appropriate historical evidence. 2 pts • Provides 6 pieces of accurate evidence of change and/or continuity. • evidence for continuity or change must be related to topic of question • at least 1 piece of evidence must be a continuity, and at least 1 must be a change.
