Reading a History Textbook is like Reading a Story!
Do you have trouble remembering what you just read out of the chapter in
your History textbook? Yes, there may be a lot of pages, thus a lot of
facts, dates, and events to remember, but try looking at the text
you're reading in a different way.
History is incredibly interesting! Just like when you watch a captivating movie or an intriguing book, see your history textbook as a historical story. Think about it. Every historical event you read about has a beginning, middle, and an end (plot). There is a time and location (setting), people involved with that event (characters), some kind of issue, problem, dilemma or drama (conflict), and if it's a part of the past/history, some type of finality to it (resolution).
We will
be reviewing the reading out of your history textbooks from yesterday, "The Watergate Scandal" and then
mapping out this section into story form. Readers will remember the
important details of a captivating story and by reading your History
textbook with the perspective that this is an important, factual
retelling, you can better remember the details of the material!
