Basically convert the prompt into a comparison/contrast where the two time periods are compared
Read the prompt, underline the points to be addressed (area, themes, time periods)

What you need to 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 and understand factors which
allow this to continue.

Set up a timeline. This will include a beginning time and one
or two other marked time periods. On timeline list 2 preferably 3
examples for each time period. Consider the prompt carefully in doing
this. Identify BOTH changes and continuities. If
there are multiple themes or areas, you need a chart for each theme or area.

Fundamentals of the CCOT Essay
Thesis should define areas of change and areas of continuity. Establish time period boundaries & address
entire period. This can be done in two sentences.
Address both continuity and change! Everyone forgets to do continuity.
Analyze the cause of changes. Use the word “because” a lot.
Discuss “global context”. Connect to world processes and change.

Global Context
In other words, what else is happening in the world?
The global context point can be earned by effectively showing:
· Comparisons to other regions · Connection to global processes
· Interaction among regions
A simple statement is all that is required to earn this point. · Ex: Mongol women, like European women, did not
bind their feet as the Chinese women did.

Analysis Analyze the reason for a change or
continuity in EVERY main body paragraph. Don’t just describe the change. Explain why the change occurred. This is most effectively done by discussing a cause and effect chain.
Make an outline with a thesis statement

More On Analysis
Tell Why· Analyze the changes over time and the continuities · Analysis means asking and answering why the
changes and continuities occurred.· Analysis works best when it is integrated into the body paragraphs.· Your essay should include the word because. “This is significant because…This changed over time because…

Starting and Ending Point
In order to get complete credit for the CCOT, you need to address the starting point. In order to analyze changes, you must discuss what
it was like before. However, pay attention to time period.
Given the question, your essay may require: Starting point, Transition, and Ending condition or Starting point and Ending condition.
Meaning that Outline/Timeline is essential.

BASIC CORE EXPANDED CORE
Points Points
1) Has acceptable thesis. (Addresses the global issues and the time period specified.)
1 Expands beyond basic core of 1 to 7 points. A student must earn 7 points in the basic core area before earning points in the expanded core area. Examples: Has a clear, analytical, and comprehensive thesis. Addresses all issues of the question (as relevant): global context, chronology, causation, change, continuity, effects, content. Addresses all parts of the question evenly. Provides ample historical evidence to substantiate the thesis. Provides links with relevant ideas, events, and trends in an innovative way.
0-2 2) Addresses all parts of the question (though not necessarily evenly or thoroughly)
2
· Addresses most parts of the question (1)
3) Substantiates thesis with appropriate historical evidence
2
· Partially substantiates thesis with appropriate historical evidence
(1)
4) Uses relevant world historical context effectively to explain change over time and/or continuity.

5) Analyzes the process of change over time and/or continuity.
