Lesson Notes

History — Form I

Topic: Sources and Importance of History

1. The Meaning of History

History is the study of past events in human society, how they happened, why they happened, and their effects on the present and the future.

2. Sources of Historical Information

Historians gather information from several sources, which are grouped as follows:

  • Archaeology — the study of remains such as bones, tools and pottery dug from the ground.
  • Oral traditions — information passed by word of mouth, e.g. stories, songs and proverbs.
  • Written records — books, letters, diaries and documents kept in archives.
  • Museums and archives — places where historical objects and records are preserved.
  • Linguistics — the study of languages to trace the origin and migration of people.

3. Importance of Studying History

  • It helps us understand the origin and development of our society.
  • It builds national identity, unity and patriotism.
  • It enables us to learn from past mistakes and successes.
  • It develops critical and analytical thinking skills.

Activity: In groups, visit an elder in your community and record one oral tradition about the founding of your village. Present your findings in class.
