Learning history can help us better understand the present and make us wiser (智慧的). If you have trouble in matching the story with its time, maybe you can memorize (记忆) them by making a timeline. Here are some tips to help you make a timeline.
Firstly, make a list of important dates. Pull key dates from your reading materials and class notes. Make sure they are in chronological (按发生时间顺序排列的) order.
Secondly, organize your timeline. Draw a line from one side of your page to the other. Next, begin listing your dates from the oldest to the latest. Then, draw a box under each date, and fill it with the key information. Make sure it includes information about important people, events and places.
Thirdly, keep going in time. Continue filling in your dates in your timeline along with details of what happened and why it is important. Make the connections among events, people and places by drawing arrows (箭头). Use different colors to make the timeline look memorable. This can also help you quickly find important names, themes or other key terms that appear in your timeline more than once.
Fourthly, test yourself. Once you have finished your timeline, put it away and try to recreate it from your memory. This will tell you what you really know. If you don’t get everything right for the first time, go back to brush up on the parts that you missed. Once you recreate everything from the beginning, you will know that you have your history information memorized.
