HISTORY

• • • Studying history can be a daunting task—there’s just so much to know! Here are some methods to take notes on important information.

Timelines

Making a timeline of a period you’re studying guides you in reviewing the important events and putting them in context with one another.

1. The first step is to draw the timeline. A grid or dot-grid notebook will facilitate this process by allowing you to count squares and divide the timeline evenly. If you’re not using one of those notebook types, use a ruler to measure precise intervals and draw a straight line.

2. Next, brainstorm a list of the important events in the time period and write a short description of each. Start by only writing down the information you can recall from memory to test your knowledge and identify your areas of weakness.

3. After you’ve written everything you remember, read through your textbook and notes to fill in the information you’ve missed. You can determine which events and details are important by skimming your textbook for headings, subheadings, and bolded words. Generally, the most important information will be emphasized by these formatting distinctions. You can also refer to resources such as prep books or review videos, in which experts boil down the material to the bare essentials.

Here are some details you might consider including on your timeline:

• Location

• Key details

• Important people involved

• Cause-and-effect relationships

• Event type (political, religious, artistic, economic, etc.)
