PART 1 | GRADE 11 HISTORY | UNIT 1: HISTORY, HISTORIOGRAPHY & HUMAN EVOLUTION | BARNOOTA ACADEMY

What is history, why should we study it, and how can evidence help us understand the human past? Join BARNOOTA ACADEMY for a clear, student-friendly lesson based on the Grade 11 History textbook, Unit One. In this lesson, we introduce history as an academic discipline and explore historiography, the meaning and origin of history, the difference between history and prehistory, the scope and core questions of historical study, and the uses and possible abuses of history. We also compare history with natural sciences and social sciences, focusing on evidence, methodology, interpretation, and the study of human society. By the end of this lesson, you should be able to explain why history matters, identify key questions historians ask, understand how history can help us learn from the past, and describe important similarities and differences between history and other fields of study. This lesson is useful for Grade 11 students preparing for classroom learning, revision, homework, and examinations. Watch to the end, take notes, and test your understanding with the questions in the video. Subscribe to BARNOOTA ACADEMY for more educational lessons and study support.
