How do I make history seem cool?

Question

anonymous · Answer

History is cool. I love reading and i like to think that they are all stories. Imagine yourself doing the things that they did in their shoes. For instance Joan of Arc. 

However, I'm afraid I don't know if it will ever the be the subject everyone loves unless they're like me, or it's a class that is basically a free period. I think that goes along with every class personally.

Think about how it weaves into everyday life and that if we don't learn from our past, its bound to happen again.  So basically its teaching us about the past so we can not make as many mistakes as in the past>
