Make history come ALIVE for your children! Designed to go along with The Story of the World Volume 4: The Modern Age Text, this Activity Book provides a rich assortment of multi-sensory activities to complement and enrich readings from the Text. Together, the Activity Book and Text make a complete, well-rounded one-year history/geography study that kids won’t soon forget!
The book is divided into 2 sections: an easy-to-use teacher’s guide with activities organized chapter by chapter in the front and consumable student pages in the back. After reading the history text, turn to the corresponding chapter of the Activity Book, choosing what best fits the ages, personalities, and learning styles of your children. You might bake Naan bread, memorize the Gettysburg Address, build your own torpedo, practice Kung Fu, write a Mariachi song, do a science experiment to see how oil refining works, and more! Consumable Student Pages are photocopiable within a family or you can purchase another set for convenience. 542 pgs. sc.
