Using your own words, explain why recognizing patterns of continuity and change over time is important. PLEASE ANSWER QUICK AND DONT TAKE MY POINTS

Sometimes I think that we history teachers are crazy. We keep teaching one way to write change-over-time essays and continue to be disappointed with the results. Maybe we should reconsider some of our approaches, to help our students absorb the different way of thinking that change over time requires.

How can we help our students see the past in terms of processes of change and continuity?
