Question

to see what continuity and change mean in your own life, make a personal timeline. first, show 5 - 6 specific events in your life that represent a big change, such as first day of school, first bicycle, first job, birthdays, etc. arrange events on your timeline like this: 2009 first day of school 2010 first bicycle now, think about whether there were any events or situations that happened during some or all of these events at the same time. these events or situations should show some continuity in your life. show these concurrent events on your timeline like this: 2009 first day of school 2010 first bicycle 2008 moved to chicago 2014 moved to los angeles this second set of events continued through and beyond the ones on the top line, and therefore show continuity. reflect now you have a continuity and change timeline! which years show continuity? which ones show change? type your answer in the box.

Explanation:

Continuity is shown by events that persist over time like living in a place. Change is represented by new - significant events like starting school or getting a bicycle. In 2008 - 2014, living in different places shows change. The move to Chicago in 2008 and then to Los Angeles in 2014 are change events. The years when the person was living in a particular place (e.g., while in Chicago from 2008 - some point before 2014) show a form of continuity in terms of residence. The years 2009 (first day of school) and 2010 (first bicycle) are change events as they are new experiences.

Answer:

Years showing change: 2008 (moved to Chicago), 2009 (first day of school), 2010 (first bicycle), 2014 (moved to Los Angeles). Years showing continuity: the period between 2008 - some point before 2014 while in Chicago (continuity in residence).
