Reconstruction starts off this guide and brings students along as they meet heroes of the faith, soar through the roaring ‘20s, and fly the skies through not one world war but two. Through the 35 lessons, each decade is given the spotlight to highlight individuals, technology, artists, and events. Students will find areas that they desire to spend more time in, and that is okay! While intended for younger students, Grades 1-5, there are middle and high school book options provided for your older students to join in the studies. The ThinkWrite activities are scattered throughout the guide providing opportunities for students to put into words what they are learning. Utilize the book list in the back for students who have a greater interest in individuals and events for further reading. 210 pgs, spiral. ~Rebecca
TruthQuest American History for Young Students III (1865-2000)
Description
From the Wild West to World War II...from the Wright Brothers to the Vietnam War...from the Arctic explorers to the heartbreak of September 11...this last guide introduces your children to the dramatic people and events of our recent history. But this is no humanistic study, for our real focus is a gentle probing of the spiritual upheaval of the period. Our children are inheriting a different world, and this guide subtly prepares their precious, innocent, and vulnerable hearts.
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!
