The Question:

2002 Change Over Time Essay from the World History AP

Choose TWO of the areas listed below and analyze how each area's relationship to global trade patterns changed from 1750 to the present. Be sure to describe each area's involvement in global patterns around 1750 as your starting point. Latin America Sub-Saharan Africa East Asia The Middle East Eastern Europe North America South and Southeast Asia

Analysis of Question: 1. What changes and continuities are being asked for?

2. What period of history is covered?

Remember the Basic Core Rubric:

1. Has an acceptable thesis. [1 Point]

2. Addresses all parts of the question, though not necessarily evenly or thoroughly. [2 Points but Partial Credit May Be Given]

3. Substantiates thesis with appropriate historical evidence. [2 Points but Partial Credit May Be Given]

4. Uses relevant world historical context effectively to explain continuity and change over time. [1 Point]

5. Analyzes the process of continuity and change over time. [1 Point]

Remember the Expanded Core Points:  Expands beyond the basic core of 1 – 7 points. Let’s Create a Time Line for All of the Regions Even Though We Must Select TWO: Hint:  Subdivide the line (Think of anchor dates or significant dates)

Quick Checklist of Reminders:

 Because the central task in this question calls for analysis of continuity and change, acceptable thesis statements need to address both, stating at least one continuity and at least one change.

 Acceptable thesis statements also need to be explicit, not simply restatements of the question or vague statements such as “there were more changes than continuities.” They also need to be relevant to the time period, beginning in 1750 and ending in the present.

 A good response provides analysis of valid global patterns of trade continuities and changes, supported by specific pieces of evidence from within the time period, which provide supporting examples of continuity or change.

 A good essay moves beyond a mechanistic “beginning, middle, and end” format and provides solid chronological knowledge across the entire time period.

 Further, students should think about including dates in their essay to demonstrate that they have the ability to describe with some precision when continuity and change happened. Solid historical analysis explains the reason for or the impact of a specific continuity or a particular change, and a good essay provides specific discussion of cause and impact.

 An essay that effectively addresses world historical context might describe an extra- regional connection or a global process to explain a cultural or political continuity or change.

 A strong essay would demonstrate greater nuance and sophistication, including the relationship between change and continuity.

 The best essays will be those that do all of this, engaging their own content knowledge with the specific framing of the question.
