What's the easiest way to memorize famous dates and people from social studies class?

Cc_clover! Haha, actually I also have that problem ever since. I just find it hard remembering dates and names of people no matter how famous they are.

That was why I never got 'Best in Social Studies' in my elementary and high school days. Then I would tell myself that I don't need to memorize dates and people because I just don't need them in my life, lol. So, whenever I had exams, I always did cramming and it did the trick, haha!

Even now that I am not in school already, I still find it hard to remember dates and I can seem to blame it to my horoscope as I am Aries-born (superstitious, waah! ). Anyway, there are helpful tips you can get online and these are the few sites you can check on: Memorizing Dates How to Remember Dates for a Test homeworktips.about.com/od/studymethods/a...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
