Learning The SQ3R Reading Method
SOME OF THE QUESTIONS ABOUT HISTORY WE'VE CONSIDERED IN CLASS .
* What Is History?
◦ What do historians write about?
◦ What is the past?
◦ Is it possible to include all of the past in a history book? Why or why not?
◦ How many of the events during a given time period are left out of in a history of that time period?
◦ Is more left out than is included?
◦ How does a historian know what to leave out?
◦ How does a historian know what to emphasize?
◦ How is writing history like telling a story about the past?
◦ How is writing history like gossiping?
◦ What is the difference between telling a story and simply making a list of events in a time sequence?
◦ What would be the main differences between three histories written of your life: one by your bff, one by your worst enemy and one by your mother?
◦ Based on these differences, what questions should we ask as we read any historical account?
Focus on metacognition, listening skills and the the lost art of attending!!
