Even before you began university studies, you took classes where you outlined textbook material in preparation for a test. Consider how you chose what material was important to study. You identified topics that you thought might appear on the test. Perhaps you outlined material that your instructor emphasized, or you identified ideas that had a long-reaching impact or repeated appearance in the subject you were studying. In other words, you identified concepts that carried significance.
It is important, too, for you to be able to identify and explain why the historical topic that you chose to study in this class is significant. Historians must be able to explain why it is worthwhile for audiences to study their research. There are several different reasons why a historical event might be significant, and in your reading for this learning block, you will learn about five models that can help you determine the historical significance of your chosen topic.
