APUSH REVIEW: CONTINUITY AND CHANGE IN AMERICAN HISTORY TIMELINES Directions: To this point much of your study of American history has been chronological. Many AP questions require you to make generalizations, note trends, and trace continuity and change over time. For this reason, creating timelines is a useful review strategy. The key, of course, is not merely identifying an event to match the date, but to state its significance and its relationship to the theme and to what came before and what follows. To make effective use of timelines, you must complete several tasks. First, identify the event and its significance for each date on the timeline. Second, try to state at least one generalization or trend over time for each mini-timeline. Finally, try to state a connection between events on one timeline and the timeline below it. This important to you start drawing connections between areas of American life. Here, the more, the better applies. Work cooperatively! It eases the burden and makes greater insights possible.
