And since history can best be described as a sequence of events, I chose to represent it on a timeline. I strongly believe that when you reduce history down to memorizing a series of events you lose its importance. Spending days on end teaching each skirmish, battle, an

Because history is such an abstract concept to our students, it is my opinion that major occurrences in history need to be broken down into their most important events; in short, summarized. Since history can best be described as a sequence of events, I chose to represent it on a timeline. I strongly believe that when you reduce history down to memorizing dates and places and players, you lose its importance.
