Publisher's Description of Colonial History: Family-Style History Program (Year Three)
Colonial History is an activity-based history program. It covers all of the major civilizations that shaped world history including in Europe, Asia,  Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. Students learn to think about and analyze human behavior as revealed in our history while doing hands on activities, crafts, and experiments. The best part is the family-style design that allows you to teach all ages at once.
Category Description for Layers of Learning History

Take an adventure together through history and geography with this interactive family approach to learning. Courses are divided into 9 units, with each unit taking about one month. This is flexible, as each unit offers teaching notes, library lists, activities, enrich­ment ideas, and carefully selected rabbit trails to go deeper into a topic. Families with learn­ers of different ages will appreciate that within each unit, the activities and recommended reading are further divided into three grade levels: 1-4, 5-8, and 9-12, along with lesson activities and readings as a family.

Layers of Learning offers separate history and geogra­phy courses that can be used separately or in tandem. If new to cyclical history study, it is recommended that you begin with Ancient History (Year 1), although families who have completed an ancient history course could begin with Middle Ages (Year 2) or Colonial History (Year 3).

Geography begins with an overview in Year 1, People and Planet. Year 2 expands on this knowledge with Mapping Our World, and World Cultures are studied in Year 3.

Also available are corresponding, optional Student Journals that are used throughout the four years to personalize the learning experi­ence: the Book of Years blank time­line and World Explorer’s Journal.
