Categorizing History (Political, Social, Economic)

​Political

Social & Economic (aspects of history)​

​Why should I categorize history?

1. ​Putting information in categories helps you learn.

2. It builds more pathways in the brain (you'll remember things)

3. History has "layers" and these concepts add depth and understanding to major events/eras.​

4. You can use these categories in writing and critical thinking questions to make your discussions more advanced.​
