COT Peer Review

StrengthsMost got their regions rightMost got their periodizations rightMost a basic core thesesMost had at least 5 pieces of evidenceMost focused on task (governance)

WeaknessesMany ran out of timeSome were anachronisticSome got the wrong regionsSome lacked specificity (evidence like events, concepts, places, etc.)Many lacked sufficient analysisMany went “off-topic”-did’nt talk about governance

Don’t Forget the Acronym

• Thesis: the more detailed, the more points ( when, where , what) always address the question: governance

• Addresses all parts of the question• Relevant world historical context used to explain

changes AND continuities; AP RULE OF 3)• E evidence: must substantiate with at least 5 specific

historical examples to illustrate thesis support• Analysis: explain why the changes and continuities

happen ( forces, decisions, outside/inside impacts)

Expanded Core Theses• In South Asia from 600-1600, the Code of Manu inHinduism reinforced the rigid hierachal nature of Caste for the purpose of social

and economic harmony, women were generally child-brides betrothed through dowry and ending in Sati, however the introduction of Islam would elevate the status of women for some and reject the notion of caste and spiritual equal in the Qu’aran and Sharia

• In Western Europe 600-1600, the fall of the Roman Empire led to the decentralized policy of feudalism where people were born into their social position and constraints of contractual obligations led to a rigid social hierarchy, the role of serf and peasant were reinforced by the Roman Catholic Church’s doctrine of salvation by humility, however, the Crusades gave a new bourgeosie class an opportunity to leave the manor and engage in economic opportunities

• In East Asia 600-1600 the social status of individuals were based upon the rigid neo-Confucian ideals where individual’s responsibilities were to their families and government, women were often submissive to their husbands and sons (often with bound feet) , however, under the Yuan Dynasty (Mongol), foreigners and women had their status elevated with important court designations while the ethnically Han Chinese were relegated to second class citizens

• In Latin America 600-1600, the Spanish colonization would lead to a class based society known as las castas sytem based un racial and ethnic construction leading to a rigid social hierarchal structure, the repartamiento system would indenture the natives ( in lieu of enslavement) forcing them to labor the lands, however, slvery would persist as an avenue of agricultural and mining denying slaves and rights or respect.

• In Africa from 600-1600 societies were matrilineal and elevated the status of women based on earning potential and her bridewealth ( money to the father for economic hardship of the los of his daughter, slavery was persistent across the Sahara as captive of war would be sold in open markets in the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean for domestic work, however, the scarcity of labor in European encomiendas in Latin America would facilitate a Chattel slvery of Males dased on rthe racist notion that they were human cargo and had no right to manumission (freedom)

Change AND Continuity Over Time

Rubric• Same as DBQ for thesis (groups and time

period); the global issue is the topic• Evidence – Rule of 3 – include three pieces

of evidence (facts, dates, names, etc) to prove your thesis. These must be discussed and/or analyzed in order to count!!!

• What happened in the world that made this happen. Include something outside of the region.

• How/why was this a change? What happened? What was the process that led to change and how/why did some things STAY THE SAME?

Thesis – follow same rules – groups; include time period; answer question; provide broad defining categories about what changed and what stayed the

same over time; include key changing event

What it was (P,S,C,E,Ed, I, T) like at

the beginning?

What were the key

changing phenomena

or events

What was (P,S,C,E,Ed, I, T) like after the

change?

Evidence of what the conditions

were like

Why did the key event occur

(relate to phenomena)

and how did it cause change

What was the same and what was

different as must address continuity

also Now either here or in the

conclusion state how the event

caused changed

Map it out – Outline, tables, graphics

Conclusion and make sure that the issues of the first paragraph are the same as the issues in the last paragraph.

You are grading a rough draft not a work of art

• If it exists, check it:• Thesis: should be addressed in the intro paragraph illustrating the where, when and what

(governance). A substantial thesis with details not only puts you in the running for a possible expanded core but could earn 3 points (thesis, parts of the question)

• All parts of the question: governance changes and continuities (think rule of 3)• Evidence: should be at least 5 and should include domestic (within region ) and foreign

(outside of the region), the more you have, the higher the likelihood of expanded core.• Analysis: why do things change? Why do they remain the same? This is where true

knowledge of chronology comes in handy to discuss the cause/effect relationship between the decisions made by governances and other people, places and events.

• Expanded Core does more including details, chronlogy, casue and effects, events and trends and does no innovatively ( highly original ideas which separate you from the rest of the herd).

• Wrong Regions• Wrong Time periods• Not saying what stays the same• No/little analysis – what did change and why did they

NOT change• Make a global or world connection – mention something

that is happening in another region or something that is worldwide

• Not addressing the question (or all parts of the question)
