Background: There are so many different reasons that studying history is important! Depending on the person, some reasons might be more important that others.

Materials: The "Why is Studying History Important" reading (linked here)

Your task: For your first World History A task, you are reading about 10 different reasons why studying history is important. Then, you will answer the Exit Ticket questions and tell me why studying history is important to YOU! Be sure to follow all the directions- if it asks for two sentences, make sure you write two sentences :)

Due date: By the end of class, Monday December 5th

Exit Ticket Questions:

1. Out of the 10 reasons from the article, which reason BEST describes why studying history is important to you? Another way to think about this is which reason do you agree with the most? What is something about that reason that stood out to you, or what made you pick that reason over the others? Your answer should be 2 sentences long and include one specific detail from the reading.

2. Out of the 10 reasons from the article, which reason do you DISAGREE with the most, or is the WORST at describing why studying history is important to you? In other words, if you were ranking the reasons what would your #10 reason be? What made you rank the reason you did #10? Your answer should be 2 sentences long and include one specific detail from the reading.

3. Out of the 10 reasons from the article, which reason would your rank #5 OR which reason do you both agree and disagree with? Explain your answer using 2 sentences and include one specific detail from the reading.

4. You may have been expecting one of the 10 reasons to be "learning from the past so we don't repeat the same mistakes." Why do you think the author did NOT include that reason in their top 10? Your answer should be 2 sentences long and include one specific detail from the reading.
