What is History?

Before we can begin to study history, we need to know what history is, why we study it, and how to do so.

Instructions:

Using complete sentences, write a paragraph that answers these two questions:

       -What is history?

       -Why do you think it's important to 

        study?

REMEMBER, a paragraph is 4-6 good sentences.
