Learning history can be fun, but at the same time, it can be confusing. The places, the names, the characters, the approximate dates, and the events once learned can easily get mixed up and out of order. As an educator of United States history, it was my experience that students struggled with where, in a sequence, an event occurred and why the event was important in the sequence. They would likely forget it. I recalled how the Columbus verse helped me gain a foothold on a particular date, so I made the timelines for my students, and we recited and used them in class. My hope is that this book may help other learners as they construct mental schemes in remembering key historical events and, in the process, find that other dates may be mentally anchored to the specific years to help the retention along. The Collegiate Collie wishes you the best in learning and remembering history!
