The Frame of Time looks at a subject through different time frames. This means you can frame a subject in the past, present, or future. How far in the future or past is up to you. You can also frame or reframe in hypothetical timelines.
See: The Frame of What If and Possibility
This frame works well with The Frame of Before and After where you are looking for how events in a period influenced each other and the effect after.
Typical thinking prompts might be:
When did this happen? (To find a specific time frame of an event.)
What happened afterward? (To find circumstances in a future time frame relevant to the time of an event.)
What happened just before that? (To find circumstances in a past time frame relevant to the time of an event.)
At what point in time did…? (To find a specific time or time frame an event occurred. )
What happened in the period between…and…? (Find an event during a specific time span.)
At what point of time in the future…? (Find
a future time frame.)
