Why the title "history unwritten"?

Some of you may be curious about the title of this blog. Well rememeber what I shared with you about your own history? That as you are learning about the history of the world in school, you are also writing your own history with each day of your life that you live. And your history is barely written. So what would your history be?

The word "unwritten" is actually borrowed from Natasha Bedingfield's song "Unwritten". You can listen to the song here, I hope.

Why I've created this blog

To all my history students,

This is a blog created especially for you. There are so many things I want to share with you about History but time and space is limited in the classroom. Hence, I've started this blog!

This is the place where you can:-

1. find links to other wonderful and useful websites related to what we are learning in class
   
2. post questions related to what we are learning in class or what you have read
   
3. share your thoughts and feelings, again, related to what we are learning in class or what you have read!

So this bolg is strictly for the discussion of History (= alright?

My desire is for you to discover for yourself the wonders and fun of learning History.

Have a wonderful journey ahead!
