Publisher's Description of Curious Historian Level 1A Student Edition

The Curious Historian Level 1 is the first part in a 4-level series that presents the study of history and culture from the beginnings of civilization (Mesopotamia and Egypt) through the Scientific and Industrial Revolutions of the modern world. Students will grow excited about history, see how people throughout the ages were both similar to and different from themselves, and learn to be scholars of the past who can make a difference in the future. The Curious Historian Level 1A: The Early & Middle Bronze Ages (TCH1A) introduces students to:

  • Unit I: Ancient Mesopotamia
    • The ancient Sumerian city-states
    • The Akkadian, Ur III, and Old Babylonian Empires
    • Sargon the Great and Hammurabi
    • Mesopotamian culture: ziggurats, cuneiform, and religion
  • Unit II: Ancient Egypt
    • The Egyptian Archaic Period
    • The gifts of the Nile River
    • The Egyptian Old and Middle Kingdoms
    • Egyptian culture: pyramids, hieroglyphics, and religion

The TCH1A student edition includes weekly chapter lessons that present a chronological narrative of history. Accompanying sidebars feature historical and archaeological tidbits, discussion questions, and Greek/Latin root words for key vocabulary. A wealth of exercises, hands-on projects and activities, maps, and appendices help to present the study of history in an engaging, creative manner.

Plus: A supplemental Go Deeper PDF is available to view for free here! This resource includes additional information to share with your students or explore for your own interest: links to museum collections of artifacts, fun tidbits (Have you ever wondered what happened to the Great Sphinx's nose?), links to recent archaeological discoveries, and more. Icons in the teacher's edition indicate when to reference this optional resource.
