LEARNING HISTORY LESSON 1  MEANING OF HISTORY “History is an account of the unchanging past.” – ARISTOTLE The word ’history’ is derived from the Greek noun ’historia’ meaning ’inquiry or research.’  WHAT IS HISTORY The study of past events, particularly in human affairs. The whole series of past events connected with someone or something. A continuous, typically chronological, record of important or public events or of a particular trend or institution.  WHY STUDY HISTORY The past can tell us a great deal about how we came to be who we are. It means looking at the roots of modern institutions, ideas, values and problems. Looking at the past teaches us to see the world through different eyes-appreciating the diversity of human perceptions, beliefs, and cultures. Different and new perspectives will enable us to analyze critically the present context of society and beings. UNDERSTANDING SOURCES LESSON 2  WHAT ARE SOURCES Is an original source that contains important historical information. Historical sources can include coins, artifacts, monuments, literary sources, documents, artifacts, archaeological sites, features, oral transmissions, stone inscriptions, paintings, recorded sounds, images and oral history.  PRIMARY SOURCE Primary sources are materials produced by people or groups directly involved in the event or topic being studied.
