To write a good historical essay, we should try our best to come up with new topics, new viewpoints and new angles. The writing is fresh and smooth, which is both readable and enlightening. Specifically, we should pay attention to the following points:

(1). The proposition is realistic and small.

Proposition is to determine the object of writing and the problem to be solved. Middle school students may not be able to write a short historical composition, but they should also put forward their own opinions, and they must never follow suit. They should choose a certain aspect mainly according to the content of the textbook, compare the historical and practical issues, and express their views and opinions. We should choose the topics we are interested in, or the hot issues people care about, or see through the historical events and phenomena we perceive, so as to arouse our own views.

Identify a topic that you are deeply interested in and can do. Choose an angle from historical figures, events, phenomena, etc., and the topic should be small rather than big, not to mention some gorgeous or empty topics. If the topic is too big, it is difficult to grasp the key points, and it is difficult to testify without delving into it. On the contrary, if you can grasp an important small problem, grasp the key, go deep into its essence and explain it thoroughly from all aspects.

(2). Selection of refining materials.

The unity of materials and viewpoints is the basic requirement for writing a short composition. Materials should be closely related to the main points of article writing and vivid. Only in this way can the article be attractive and fascinating.

First of all, according to the needs of the proposition, take questions to libraries, archives, museums and periodical rooms, make full use of the library as a treasure house of knowledge, and make yourself the master of materials. We can know the existing achievements in a certain research field through bibliography and index, consult the materials scattered in newspapers and periodicals according to the index, or collect and sort out as many relevant materials as possible through social surveys and other ways. Through the actual investigation, we can deeply understand the research object.

Secondly, on the premise of serving the theme, we discuss, analyze and sort out the collected complex and chaotic materials, and select typical and convincing materials through induction, classification, combination, scientific analysis and analogy, so as to make them become evidence for analyzing and solving problems.

(3). Clever and profound conception

When we write small historical compositions, we should gradually form our own opinions on the basis of collecting a large number of materials and conducting analysis and research, thus establishing the main points of writing. Beginners who write small historical compositions should first establish the central argument of the full text, and then establish the sub-arguments under the central argument. We should attach great importance to logicality, so that theory and practice can be closely and concretely combined, and the content is rich but not loose. After reading it, people will have a * * * sound in their minds. In order to convince the author of the truth. Once the central point of the article is established, it will play the role of commander-in-chief of the full text. The choice of materials, the choice of proof method and the arrangement of hierarchical paragraphs should be considered according to the needs of the point. We should also pay attention to the combination of history and theory to avoid the separation of views and materials.
