Welcome to Secondary 1 History 2009!

hi all,

Welcome to Secondary 1 history!

At this point in time, you must be wondering what you can expect from the study of history at lower secondary. Before we actually look at the content itself, we are going to learn about the reasons why we study history and how historians go about re-constructing history.

Well, why study history? In this article I stumbled on whilst holidaying in Malaysia, the last British governor of Hong Kong captures it very well:
1. A good understanding of one's history and heritage helps one to define one's future.
2. History helps you understand why things are the way they are today.
3. History helps us to decide on how to deal with current problems.

More will be revealed in class. In the mean time, here's the article!
