How to memorize D A T E S ???
We all struggle to put dates to events, and that is no problem, if you got an idea about the chronology (what happened when) of events anyway.
But we often don't!
Here are some suggestions to help us to remember these 'numbers' anyway...
This website gives you nice pictures and advice - what I like is the ' warning' :
- Don't treat learning history like learning vocabulary. You won't do well if you just try to memorize a list of facts. The key is to understand how dates and people and things fit into the story of the past.
which is very true!
Not serious, but seriously good : Mark Twain's methods - I think as visual artists, that might work for us...
These are a few websites, that try to make the chronology of events simple and therefore easy to understand...
