ooo! ooo! Documentaries, visual is very good in history presentation!
That is how they should teach history, not through boring texts.

I love reading non-fiction books. But not biographies.

I would like the presentation of facts to be linked in a way that is like a story, interesting.

I love watching films about things, they're inspiring and emotional in a way that a text isn't. However I don't remember things and details from visual media as well as from a text. I need a text that I can re-read and most importantly I need to make my own notes. otherwise I forget.
Point is: it's very different how people remember and learn things. :)

Yep, I agree.
You just have to find your way of learning.
It is very important to know which method is suitable for you.

my favorite non fiction books I've read for school and I liked them a lot. Ones was about Descartes and some history and philosophy, but also the mystery of what happened to his bones. the other was a very story based account of different explorers/archeologists.

Descartes?
I love mysteries. IF it is about mysteries, then I guess the non fiction could be itneresting as well, reading up all the theories.

It's really a plus when the school lit is interesting, when you have a lot to read for school there's usually not time to read other stuff. (for me at least. :/

... Famous. XD I never heard of him.
Seems like my history class jumped him.
Socrates or Plato was mentioned though.

well, I never learned about any philosophers in basic history classes. But Descartes saying "I think therefore I am" I knew since I started junior high.

I don't know anything about Napoleon really, but if he said something like "I conquer, therefore I am," then he's playing off of Descartes philosophy.

my favorite parts of art history was the beginning, learning about egyptian, mayan, and other ancient civilizations. I like roman art a lot too, but I'd rather not learn about it all the time.
