what you are about to read in your life?

The most important thing is to identify or stablish relations between the

historical events. With this, you can explain causes and consequences of any

event at any time. To do so look for clues in the reading: Compare and

Contrast sentences, Cause-and-Effect sentences and Chronological

sentences

and how the details support it with your own words.
