Teaching Continuity and Change Over Time
Continuity and change over time (CCOT) is an important analytical tool in a historian’s toolbox. But teaching continuity and change over time can be difficult. Often, students spot the changes that take place from one era of history to the next rather quickly, but are not as skilled at recognizing the continuities. This lesson helps your students recognize the differences between continuities and changes and sparks lively discussion in your classroom. Don’t worry, there are plenty of resources included to help you teach this historical thinking practice, too!
