Continuity & Change Over Time (AKA: CCOT)Oiler Style • Analyze the social and intellectual changes and continuities that freshmen at Pearland High School will undergo during his or her high school career.
Analyze the social and intellectual changes and continuities that freshmen at Westfield High School will undergo during his or her high school career.
Examples of Important Changes(Specific names of events, people, trends, etc. These should “tie together” the 3 boxes from the previous slide. Don’t just give 3 “snapshots.” Explain how the beginning characteristics developed into the middle/end..) 2. 3.
Examples of Important Continuities(Look for basic elements that are present BOTH at the beginning & the end of the time period of this question. These are often so obvious that they’re overlooked.) 2. 3.
Reasons for Changes & Continuities 1. 2. 3.
CCOT Hints: • A good way to begin: • “During the time period between (X) and (X) in (wherever), (1,2,3) remained constant while there were significant changes in (4, 5, 6).” • Be specific with the “numbered” items but not overly descriptive. Save the details for your body paragraphs. • Number of changes & continuities need not be equal, as long as you have six (6) total. • You MUST mention the time range and the “what” or “where” in the thesis!!
More CCOT Hints: • Thesis Paragraph Structure: • 1st sentence: time period stolen from the question/prompt. Example: From 600 CE to 1500 CE….blah blah blah…. • 2nd sentence: one specific change and one specific continuity. Not political and social changes coupled with economic continuity, but… Example: Dictatorship evolved into democracy yet Roman Catholic faith remained the prominent faith. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • From 600 CE to 1500 CE changes included dictatorships evolving into republics yet Roman Catholicism continued as the major religion in (X). • As Europe came to economically dominate trans-Atlantic trade, their influence over social customs also expanded. • Although Europe quickly dominated the economic aspects of the Columbian Exchange, their social influence in Africa and the Americas developed more slowly.
Based on your notes: Analyze the social and intellectual changes and continuities that freshmen at Pearland High School will undergo during his or her high school career. • You must use one of the beginnings below: While/ Although/ In spite of/ Despite • Write your thesis paragraph. (This should include a brief summary description of the major points your essay will develop later. In other words, preview the topic sentences of each paragraph to come.)
