Well you can thank your lucky stars ...um  aaaah....err Luckystar\nthat I saw your question.I used to hate it till I ate it ..or consumed it.\nhistory that is.Its really too bad your getting boring lecturing teachers because history can be soooo interesting.Did you know hat Alexander the great CONQUERED most of the known world before he was 30 years old?Amazing!Napoleon dragged huge heavy canons OVER the Andes mountains to face his foes.\nTheres the Egyptians and their pyramids.The Chinese and their great wall.How bout Roman Emperors who regularly had sex with and married there own sisters!I don't even LIKE history of western civilization,but any one of those things you could study for years and not even scratch the surface.\n   My vote goes to US history.Did you know that Lincoln dreamed of his assassination the night before he was shot?Or the "S" in Harry "S" Truman stood for.........just  S.Nothing.....just S.Benjamen Franklin never applied for any patend on anything he invented (he was a prolific inventor) and never made any money off of his inventions.Thomas Edison not only invented the light bulb but invented the Phonograph and the movie projector!\nLewis and Clark opened up the west.The Trans continental railroad.All of these are unbelievable stories waiting to be rediscovered and retold.If you had boring teachers,ask interesting questions!Theres lots of juicy scandals that went on throughout history,just ask!When you get lemons,,,,make lemonade.

It will be good if you take history at O levels and continue it at A level.\n\n- some of the topics done at A level is the same as O level although the way questions structured are different. You learn about Southeast Asia in secondary school and if i'm not wrong, you have to study SEAsian too in A levels. Hence in content wise, you might be at the upperhand. \n\nBut one thing to note is that A level history require you to write argumentative essays which requires historical arguments backed up by evidences. and the way u organise and write ur essay would determine ur grades but u will learn these skills in Junior College.\n\n- Exposing yourself to history at O levels will help u to keep in touch of the major issues and arguments in history and also would help you to keep ur interest there. \n\nBut that does not mean that those who did not do history in O levels would not do as well as those who did. I have classmates who did not do O level history but managed to do rather well in A levels. \n\nBut most importantly, u have to know where ur interest is. Don't force urself to to take history if u really don't want to. If you feel that u have a great interest now, just go for it!!! You will get to know so much about how the past has affected the present. It's very interesting!!!

Go for ceramics for the art courses.  Also try history of film.\n\nGood luck with that.   Be careful trying to take the "easy" way out.  An A in an easy course may not look as good as a B in a difficult course.

Take as many writing and speech classes as you can handle. You'll need them. I also suggest taking some law classes at OSU; constitutional law mainly.

Read a history book. It may actually require some time and thought. Take responsibility for your own education.

Is 9th grade World History? (It is for ninth graders in our school.) If so, I would do something on the Holocaust. Plenty of tragedy, and eventually triumph.\n\nIf 9th grade is American History, something on 9/11 would be good.

Please teach! Education is history, in all areas of the curricula, history plays an important role. I hope you enjoy working with children.

Unless the student is taking a bunch of advance placement courses in high school, the status of social studies is remedial at best. Students will only take it because they need to take it to graduate. I sense that many basic history teachers in the secondary school will probably let many of their students pass without truly covering the material sufficiently.\n\nI know this because I was distraught after taking the required history courses when I was in high school six years ago. I felt I passed the course without learning anything worth remembering. After my freshman year, I took the Advanced Placement courses in history and the other social sciences as a way to challenge myself and also to prepare myself for my college majors, sociology and political science.

Well, as a teacher of AP US history classes, you learn all about US history, which seems a bit obvious.  Almost all students who take the class (at least where I teach) plan on taking the AP exam in May.  Therefore, there's a strong focus on factual content and we cover the entire subject, from discovery and settlement to modern times.  Students have about 8-15 pages of reading a night, homework questions, an electronic bulletin board, papers, biweekly quizzes, and tests, which include multiple choice, short answer, and essays.  There is also practice for the DBQ - document based question - which asks you to take a position and defend it, using the documents you are given as well as your outside knowledge on the topic.  \n\nIn essence, while you learn content, you also learn discipline, how to write, how to think analytically, and how to construct a historical argument.  While the work is challenging, I don't think it's impossible.\n\nIf you are asking because you are thinking of taking the class next year, I hope you do take it.  It's a lot of work but very much worth it!  Good luck.

I'm just going to assume you mistyped role of the historian. A historian basically anaylyzes the past, and through the analysis of the past, you can begin to understand how things have come to be. You can also learn from the mistakes of the past, some the Germans failed to do during WW2, in which their mistakes of invading Russia during the winter and attempting to invade England had been previously commited by Napoleon. Not much, but it should at least give you a base for your essay. (studying to be a histroy major btw).

Colleges generally don't care which ones you take, you should take those that you think you'll do well in. However, if you're planning on majoring in a specific thing, you should plan on taking the SAT subject tests in them (such as math, physics, history, english lit, etc). If you're taking US History now, you should plan on taking the test in May or June, as is the same thing with any classes you're taking. Talk to your teachers and buy the help books.

Adios!
