The hub of the curriculum, Volume 1 25th Anniversary edition Student Reader keeps the previous edition’s content essentially the same. You’ll first notice the reordering or dividing of chapters (to better fit a chronological timeline). This, in itself, makes this edition not compatible with the previous edition. Ten new chapters are entitled History-Makers. These mini biography chapters include an Assyrian warrior queen, Draco and Solon, Zhang Qian (of the Silk Road), Judas Maccabee, and more. Chapters still explain the start of each major world religion (content is nearly identical to the previous edition). The previous material on Jesus and the start of Christian religion has been retained. This content is no longer a separate chapter, but is included in Chapter 36, Israel Under Roman Rule. The content summarized from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, now includes 6 rather than 8 key points. Additionally, 2 new chapters add Asian history: China (Han and other dynasties), one on Korea and Japan. Finally, one additional chapter discusses the Northern Barbarians. Not compatible with previous editions. 414 pages, sc. ~ Ruth

This 25th Anniversary Expanded Edition of Story of the World Ancient Times provides a multi-age curriculum for 35-36 weeks of studying ancient history (9000 BC/BCE to 476 AD/CE). In this edition, each future volume of the series will include the following components: a Student Reader, a Student Workbook, Instructor Guide, and a Tests and Answer Key. This Student Reader (available in hard or soft cover) retains a large percentage of the previous edition’s content. Chapters, however, are rearranged to closely follow a chronological timeline. Readability has been increased through slight wording and paragraph size changes. Families will enjoy the newly added 10 mini biographies, including an Assyrian warrior queen, Draco and Solon, Zhang Qian (of the Silk Road), Judas Maccabee, and more. The curriculum still explains the start of each major world religion (content is nearly identical to the previous edition). This edition is still written with a neutral perspective, including the key details. See individual product descriptions for specific content details. To help students with further study, the author recommends adding a history encyclopedia of your choice. The extremely user-friendly Instructor Guide provides over 70 new activities (including cross-curricular, group, and kinesthetic), with an updated additional reading list, field trip ideas, and more. The Student Workbook is now a separate consumable. The Tests and Answer Key provide an additional resource for checking student’s retention of concepts. Convenience packages of the full curriculum are available using either softcover or hardcover main reader texts. ~ Ruth
