When I was young I used to think that
History was a subject absolutelly boring and uncomprenhensible. But in the third
course of the Secondary School I had a teacher that could change my mind.
She was able to transform the
History in a mountain of fabulous stories about people who lived many
years ago. She teached us the subject like a friend who is gossiping
something about her o his neigbourhood. Our History classes were full of
stories about kings, gladiators, maidens and soldiers. Sometimes
she seemed like a novel writer who is explaining how has writen her
book, in which places she has inspired or the feelings that she wanted transmit.
I think that their lessons were so
successful because she explained all so easly that we enjoyed learning. Although we
had to resume the units and memorize some important dates, we learned how to use
mental maps in order to understand and remember all that she had tell us before, we used
to do timelines to fix the maining history moments and we started to speak in
front our classmates to explain them a part of the lesson.
For all that reasons, not only the
History started to be my favourite subject, but also now I am a History
teacher and I really enjoy with my work.
