Ancient History is a history course that covers the beginnings of civilization until the fall of Rome. In it students will learn about people all over the planet including Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. Students learn what happened in the past, identify the patterns of human behavior, and learn to relate the past to the present and their own lives.
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.
