Take time to focus on Ancient history with your students. This 43-lesson guide will walk you and your students through the Ancient Greek culture and context, from about ~3000BC to 146BC using literature as your guide posts. The commentary found in this guide provides a unique voice that prompts students to think about history. This is a wonderful series to do with multiple students as a family. Throughout the guide are lists of literature, audio, and video options for every grade range. The heart of the program is keeping Holy Scripture at the center of our understanding of history. There are ThinkWrite prompts throughout the guide with possible responses provided in the back to spark discussion. Your time spent in the guide will depend on you. Students may find a certain area of study more interesting and want to spend more time learning about, while others can be moved through more quickly. Make a planned schedule before you start and adjust as you need. 92 pgs, spiral. ~Rebecca
TruthQuest History: Ancient Greece
Description
- Greek achievements (in government, art, architecture, math, science, and philosophy) were stellar, and we will explore them thoroughly, but we can understand their outcome and legacy only when we probe their base.
- Ancient Greece offers students a prime example of the development and consequences of the humanist philosophy. Even their religion--the famed Greek mythology--was man-made.
- Your students will be able to fluently comprehend these issues, for they will be meeting these noted achievers in the context of their beliefs and contrasting those with God's eternal truths.
The goal of the TruthQuest History series is not to guide students through
textbooks, but to guide them through history. Since the guides provide only
basic summaries, many books are recommended; the beauty is that students can
pick whichever ones appeal to them or are readily available. You will be
challenged to think, research, and complete ThinkWrite sections. Responses to
the ThinkWrite sections can be done in a variety of ways including skits,
diaries, news reports, models, projects, drawings, and essays.
For example, Beginnings is a newer title in this series that combines the study of Creation, the Old Testament, the Ancients and Egypt. The Bible is the ultimate authority on history, but the author suggests some other key books that may be referenced throughout the study - Child’s Story Bible, Genesis: A Commentary for Children, Story of the Ancient World, Book of the Ancient World, Streams of Civilization Vol. 1, Genesis: Finding Our Roots, and Greenleaf Guide to the Old Testament. May your study of history become a study of His Story!
