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
