    History is important to study because it is essential for all of us in understanding ourselves and the world around us. And in my opinion, studying history benefits beyond history itself, because it helps develop and improve our skills through studying history.

    We can improve our reading skills by reading 1exts from different periods. Language has changed and developed over time and so has the way people write and express themselves. We can also improve our writing skills through learning not to just repeat what someone else said, but to analyze information from multiple sources and come up with our own conclusions. It's two birds with one stone—better writing and critical thinking!

    There are so many sources of information out in the world. Finding a decisive truth for many topics just doesn't exist. What was a victory for one group was a great loss for another -we get to create our own opinions of these events.

    History gives us the opportunity to learn from others' past mistakes. It helps us understand many reasons why people may behave the way they do. As a result, it helps us become smarter as decision-makers.

    In the study of history we will need to conduct research. This gives us the opportunity to look at two kinds of sources—primary ( written at the time) and secondary sources ( written about a time period, after the fact). This practice can teach us how to decipher between reliable and unreliable sources.

    There are numbers and data to be learned from history. In terms of patterns: patterns in population, disappearances during times of war, and even in environmental factors. These patterns that are found help clarify why things happened as they did.

    It's incredibly important to learn to question the quality of the information and "history" we are learning. Keep these two questions in mind as we read through information: How do I know what I'm reading are facts and accurate information? Could they be the writer's opinions?
