Category Description for History Quest
Adaptable and personal, History Quest teaches history from a secular perspective using a time travel approach.
With the black & white illustrated Student Text, activity-filled Study Guide, and suggested readers, your students will learn about the diversity of individuals, conflicts, ideas, inventions, and experiences that have shaped history. Each level includes a year’s worth
of weekly units. The first half of each unit narrates the selected historical
elements. The second half, “History Hop,” helps students “engage” with that
time’s people and events. Students will create a Travel Log, along with their
choice of craft or cooking projects, coloring, map work, etc. So, you’ll want
to preview topics and events with your specific students in mind.
The Study Guide completes the course, providing directions, materials and resource lists, enrichment ideas, and a schedule. The basic outline is Day 1 (Discover - learn the topic); Day 2 (Explore - read History Hop, complete the Travel Log and more); Day 3 (Create - choose from a wide mix of projects); Day 4 (Demonstrate - complete assessment projects); and Day 5 (Enrich - with suggested websites/readings). There is a decidedly secular, instructional-based discussion of religions. Courses also require your choice of suggested story books for the 4 Hygge (pronounced HOO-guh) units, emphasizing togetherness and wellbeing, focusing on story, and providing a less formal study.
