The history cards are fantastic! They have many interesting
facets (the more you study them, the more you learn). The cards from the
various time periods are color coded and numbered - there are 32 cards in each
pack. If the cards also relate to Bible history they have another color and
another number. Each card has a picture (usually in full color) representing
what it is about. For example, the card for Creation has a reproduction of the
Creation of the sun and moon from the Sistine Chapel Ceiling by Michelangelo.
Many of the other pictures on the other cards are famous paintings as well.
Each card has a title and a Scripture reference (if appropriate). They also
contain a summary of the event they represent and a list of resources. This
information can only be found on the cards and is not duplicated in the Teacher
Manual.
Publisher's Description of Veritas History New Testament, Greece and Rome Cards
New Testament, Greece & Rome Flashcards cover 32 events during the development of Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, and throughout the New Testament. Students will learn through informative and engaging flashcards, starting with Minoan and Mycenaean cultures and ultimately concluding with the fall of the Roman Empire. Our history series applies the time-proven classical method of memorizing a timeline with supporting facts. Recommended to use with the self-paced course or the teacher's manual and memory song CD to make learning fun and effective.
Veritas Elementary History offers five different
time periods, with each aimed at a different grade level beginning in grade 2 and
designed to take one school year. There are a few components to this series
that are offered in a kit or sold separately. The Teacher Manual is
split into 32 weekly lessons. Each lesson has a worksheet, a project or two,
and a test. The color-coded History Cards are an essential element of
the program and contain many interesting facts from the various time periods.
If the cards also relate to Bible history, they have another color and another
number. Songs on the Audio CD are nicely done and designed as a type of
auditory timeline.
