Geographic Context refers to where this historical development/event took place and why it took place there. Geographic Determinism is another phrase used for this. It basically means "How does/did Geography impact the historic event/development/idea/time period" ? Did geography play a role of the successful outcome or a failure?

== P.E.G.S. ==

In order to organize basic information about a specific topic, area, or period of history. An acronym called PEGS this simple graphic organizer breaks down general knowledge into six broad human concerns and over-arching questions:

* Political: Who is in charge?
* Economic: How do we make a living?
* Geography: How does where we live impact how we live?
* Social: How do we relate to one another?

When students are asked to study a time period in history, they sometimes have difficulty organizing all the seemingly unconnected facts about different people, dates, events, and issues related to that time period. The PEGS approach is one way to organize how the people lived in a society at a certain time in history and so help students to understand that culture.

By considering in turn different dimensions of a historical period or event, students probe deeply into the many facets and implications of the past. Because of the depth of resources available online and in print, students can easily find evidence to support their investigations into all six of these areas by using this acronym.

You can also help students break each broad category down by providing the following specifics:
