The new curriculum reform in junior high school courses standard all explicitly proposed the requirement to cultivate students’ ability of observation. Therefore, in junior middle school, it is of great significance to lay emphasis on cultivating students’ ability of observation.With the implementation of quality-oriented education and the promotion of the history curriculum reform, history teaching in junior middle school has been attached great importance to improve students’ all-round abilities.
