What is History? History is the study of past events and their impact on humanity It is the study of change over time What events make it into history? Who writes history?

History is based on the interpretation of these events Evidence is used to verify and clarify history What sort of evidence? Historians become the detective, artists, and storytellers Viewpoints and theories must be expressed and interpreted with caution. Why?

History should be seen as a connection between the past and the present Understanding what has happened makes it easier to understand what is happening now

Why Study History? Everything has a history We can’t get away from it… we celebrate it all the time So we don’t repeat the past Because everything repeats itself… to predict the future

By studying history you can study anything By learning what happened before, students improve their understanding of the world they live in

History of the World…

Imagine for a moment… Our planet is 4.6 billion years old – but imagine for a moment that it’s only 46.

Life began in the oceans 35 years ago, and it gradually developed…

Dinosaurs appeared 2 years ago and disappeared last year…

Modern humans arrived 4 hours ago.

One hour ago he learned how to farm.

One minute ago machines and industry began.

In the last 60 seconds we have: Polluted the air, sea, and land, Used most of the earth’s oil, gas, and coal, Completely killed more than 500 kinds of animals, birds, and plants Made and used atomic bombs

Grown in numbers from 1 billion (in 1830) to over 7 billion today

Task: Write a paragraph telling me the area of history that most interests you. Explain why? Try to use formal essay-style writing. You may include: Type of history World region Tell me about you and how I can help you do well in this course!
