Why do you think so?
TIME, PLACE AND
SPACE
The intrinsically linked
concepts of time, place
and space refer to the
absolute or relative
position of people, objects
and ideas.
Time is not simply the
measurement of years or time
periods, but is a continuum of
significant events of the past,
present and future.
Place is socially constructed and can be explored in terms of
constraints and opportunities afforded by location.
Space relates to where and
why places and landscapes
are located. This concept
also includes the social,
economic, and political
processes that interact
through or across space,
resulting in patterns and
networks arising, such as
migration or trade flows
 Perspective is the way someone
looks at something taking into
consideration all of the things that
have happened with that thing in the
past and the relationship between the
viewer and the thing in the past being
viewed.
For historians, perspective implies a
need for understanding different

PERSPECTIVES sides of an event.

Power is the capacity or ability
to direct or influence the
behavior of others or the course
of events.
Social
constructions of
reality
STATEMENT
OF INQUIRY
The statement of inquiry should anchor the entire unit of inquiry, and
students must demonstrate their understanding of this statement of
inquiry in the summative assessment.

The statement of inquiry:

● represents a contextualized, conceptual understanding that is worthy
of inquiry
● explains clearly what students should understand and why that
understanding is meaningful
 Time, Social
Perspectives
Place and Power
constructions
Space of reality
Time, place and space,
different perspectives and
power shape the social
constructions of reality.
