History Tooter Method

In most history classes, subject matter is approached chronologically—that is from some beginning to some end.    This gives one a sense of the flow of history.  In the end some understanding of the timeline of history is both important and necessary.  But, it is difficult to learn something in such a straightforward way.  It is a great way to run a race, paint a house, shovel snow off your sidewalks or any other simple task, but there is a staggering lot of information that  one must shovel through in a historical survey class.  You need a background (which, is supposed to be taught in public schools).  Lacking a background before class begins, one needs some structure to build a background upon. 

This information at HistoryTooter.com is organized with this in mind.  A pearl in an oyster begins as a grain of sand and gradually the oyster surrounds it with layer after layer of pearl until eventually a complete, usable, beautiful pearl is formed.  Much like the oyster, here on this website any one topic will begin with a grain of information that sums up entire eras.  Then we go a step deeper and sum up smaller eras—building upon that first grain of information until you have added another small layer of knowledge.  Another step deeper and you beginning forming your pearls of knowledge. 

This website is meant to be a place where you can “LEARN” history.  It will help you understand history.  If you just want historical facts, Wikipedia will work fine.  If you really want to learn history start here at the beginning of whatever era you are interested in and make sure that you understand each layer before you proceed to the next.  If you are here at HistoryTooter because you need help in a class that you are taking, stop trying to memorize all the facts that your instructor or your book mentions and start really, really trying to understand the era first.  Once you have done that, the fact will fit into your framework of understanding will little effort. 

So,

1.  Pick your class or subject from the home page.  i.e.  Western Civilization or United States History.

2. Follow the layers

3. If you get lost or something doesn’t make sense, make sure you step back a layer and fully understand the background.
