big c vs. little c context
in addition to dividing context into historical circumstances and geography, we can also divide context into \big c\ context and \little c\ context. big c context refers to the long - term events that led up to the event and the larger regional geographic context in which an event happens and little c refers to the short - term immediate causes and local geographic context.
often it can be hard to tell the difference between big c and little c context, but that is okay. the difference is not as important as including both information about the big c and little c to explain why an event took place when and where it happened.
some people represent the big c and little c contexts in the form of two circles around an event.

| historical circumstances (historical context) | geography (geographic context)|
|--|--|
| what time period was it? what were the characteristics of that time period?
what happened in the years leading up to the event?
what world events led to it?
which countries/regions of the world were involved? why were they involved? | in which large region like a continent, empire, country, or trade network did it happen? what other large regions were nearby? what was the relationship between those regions?
what large geographic features like oceans and mountain ranges were nearby? how did those features affect how it happened?|
| what dates did it happen on?
what happened in the days and months leading up to the event?
what local events led to it?
which local groups, political parties, or individuals were involved? what were those people like? why were they involved? | in which small region like a state, city, or building did it happen? what other small regions were nearby? what was the relationship between those regions?
what small geographic features like rivers, lakes, mountains, and harbors were nearby? how did those features affect how it happened?|

directions: identify which sections of the passage provide big c and little c context by annotating or highlighting the passage below.

the fight between justin and max was caused by factors inside and outside the school.
for the last few years, our community has gone through major changes. the factory that employs many in our community is under new management because the company, which is based in london, is not selling as many products to china as they used to.
