Curious Historian's Archive: Extra Resources for Level 2B (Digital File)

The Curious Historian's Archive: Extra Resources for Level 2B is a collection of supplemental materials that correspond with The Curious Historian Level 2B: Rome and the Classical World. The digital files include:

• Songs: It is a well-known fact that students rarely forget what they sing! TCH2B includes 4 catchy and entertaining songs that you and your students will enjoy singing in class and even as you go about the rest of your day. The unit songs summarize the key events and cultural pieces of each civilization. The fourth tune, “Top 12 Things to Remember from TCH2B,” is a great way for students to impress their friends and family with the most interesting tidbits about Rome and the classical world! The lyrics are found in appendix A, and a PDF download of the song lyrics is included for easy reference if your students want to sing in the car, on vacation, or at a friend’s house. A song icon in the text will prompt you to introduce each chapter’s verse(s) to students at the beginning of each lesson. 
• TCH2B Profiles and Legends (PDF): This collection of optional readings is intended to complement the TCH2B chapters by introducing students to some of the more famous legends of history and retelling a few of the classic tales—such as the story of the Ninth Legion—that we did not have room for in our text. The Profile pieces shed further light on interesting historical achievements by important figures, such as Cincinnatus, Pliny the Elder, and Zenobia, whom we could only spend a limited amount of space discussing in the context of each chapter.
• Biblical Connections in TCH2B (PDF): For teachers and parents who would like to integrate religious history/biblical studies with their study of ancient history, we have created a supplemental PDF that draws connections to biblical history and locations, scripture verses, and so forth. Icons in the teacher’s edition indicate when to reference this optional PDF resource.
• The Curious Historian’s Reading Guide for TCH2B (PDF): For those who would like to continue their exploration of ancient history beyond the pages of our text, we have supplied a recommended reading list, featuring titles for both students and teachers. This PDF includes clickable links for easy browsing and purchasing.
• The “Top 12 Things to Remember from TCH2B”: This beautifully designed and convenient reference sheet can be posted in the classroom or distributed to students.
• The Chapter Maps, as indexed in appendix D of TCH2B, together in one PDF for ease of comparison and other classroom uses
• TCH2B Map Exercises from the review chapters and the answer keys
