The World's Story 2: The Middle Ages Student Book
Description
Students will cover the Middle Ages through the Renaissance, beginning with the fall of Rome and surveying history from around the world.
Angela O'Dell's World's Story series uses the same fun style of her popular America's Story series to teach junior-high students about world history. Students will learn about everything from the fall of Rome to the Renaissance in a survey that covers Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Written from a strong Christian perspective, students will see God's hand throughout history and learn about how this history is still relevant to their lives today.
The Worlds Story is covered in another three volumes and is directed toward 6ththrough 8thgraders. CoversThe Fall of Rome through the Renaissance. Available Summer 2018.
Frankly, the Student Booksare amazing. Full of colorful artwork and photos as well as black & white illustrations, vocabulary tidbits, maps, and biographical sketches, it is skillfully formatted into an appealing and engaging text. Each of the 28 chapters (i.e. weekly lessons) have text interspersed with Narration Breaks (place to stop and recount orally the information that has been covered) and "Analyze/Connect" (Worlds Story). Each chapter ends with a two-page photo montage (a feature I love) that pertains to the chapters focus. For instance, there are montages of an ancient city such as Jerusalem or Kerma in Sudan.
Worlds Story chapter worksheets include an introductory page (for the teacher materials needed and narration prompts and responses); Written Narration/Vocabulary; WorldQuest (short essay questions and copywork); Map Adventure (map related activities); My Timeline; Dig Deeper! (suggested questions to research); and Art Study (informational with activities). Also included are Review Sheets (quarterly), Research Aid Worksheets (optional helps for research projects), Artifact Studies (12 worksheets with informational snippets accompanying artifact photos coupled with discussion questions), materials for a couple of special projects, Timeline Supplements, Craft Suggestions (6), and answer keys.
