History: told in space and time

We are all familiar with the story of the five blind men and an elephant.

Similarly, given different tools, a student can examine history in different levels of detailWe can use maps which allow us to see where we are in relation to other thingsDifferent types of maps for different occassionsIt is particularly important to understand that in the study of history, one perspective is not necessarily better than another.

Example: A MIDWIFES TALE[] was unwell in ye forenn. [ ] Dind here. I was calld at 11 oclok to mr Tolmans, a fatagueing Ride; accompanied by [] Tolman to the Fort,from thence by Asa Williams. found mrs Tolman Delivd of a fine son, but before I left, put her to Bed SafelyA clear Day. I was unwell all Day. was calld to Nathan Tilars at 11 at Eving.Sund. a fine Day, my Birth Day; fifty [years] old. was at Tilars, Mrs Tilar unwell.

In working with the interactions of space and time, it is important for students to understand that the scales of both are independent of each other.Studying a long period of time (2000 BC to 2000 AD) in one area (such as China or the Middle East)Studying a shorter span of time (80s decade) on a world-wide pespective
