what is a good way to study American History?

Question

help please

Answer 1

you need to pick the key topics out of your book, key events, key people and so on... write the names down on a sheet of paper and then go back later and fill in what they all mean. Make your own little study guide. I find writing down information helps your memory retain a lot.

Answer 2

There are many ways to study. The best way to study is to go by what your talent is in. Everyone has a mode of learning that helps them the best, visual, auditory, tactical. Some use all three, some work best with one. Find out what yours is, and go from there.

If you are a good artist, you can make up cartoons that go along with the facts. Use your imagination.

If you are a person who does better by doing, then writing down the facts you need to know in a sequence helps. Outlining the textbook is always a good thing to do. In a history textbook, take each paragraph, and summarize the important sentence. The time that you take doing this, will help you understand the material better.

Sometimes making up "crazy phrases" to go along with the information helps, kind of like Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally for parenthesis, exponents, multiply and divide before you add or subtract (I know that is a math example, but you can make up your own for the names of presidents in order for example.).

You can take the important dates and events, write them on note cards, and have you and your friends quiz each other.

Remember the questions that the teacher asks in class - those will probably be on the test.

Make up questions and have your classmates make up questions and quiz each other. Studying with a partner is always the best way to learn. If you can explain something to someone else, that knowledge becomes yours to use and remember better.
