The Curious Historian's Archive: Extra Resources for Level 2A is a collection of supplemental materials that correspond with The Curious Historian Level 2A: Greece and the Classical World (TCH2A). The digital files include:
* Songs: It is a well-known fact that students rarely forget what they sing! TCH2A includes 4 catchy and entertaining songs that you and your students will enjoy singing in class and even as you go about the rest of your day. The unit songs summarize the key events and cultural pieces of each civilization. The third tune, “Top 12 Things to Remember from TCH2A,” is a great way for students to impress their friends and family with the most interesting tidbits about Greece and the classical world! The lyrics are found in appendix A, and a PDF download of the song lyrics is included for easy reference if your students want to sing in the car, on vacation, or at a friend’s house. A song icon in the text will prompt you to introduce each chapter’s verse(s) to students at the beginning of each lesson.
* Biblical Connections in TCH2A (PDF): For teachers and parents who would like to integrate religious history/biblical studies with their study of ancient history, we have created a supplemental PDF that draws connections to biblical history and locations, scripture verses, and so forth. Icons in the teacher’s edition indicate when to reference this optional PDF resource.
* Reading Guide for TCH2A (PDF): For those who would like to continue their exploration of ancient history beyond the pages of our text, we have supplied a recommended reading list, featuring titles for both students and teachers. This PDF includes clickable links for easy browsing and purchasing.
* TCH2A Profiles and Legends (PDF): This collection of optional readings is intended to complement the TCH2A chapters by introducing students to some of the more famous legends of history and retelling a few of the classic tales—such as those of Hercules and Odysseus, the Trojan War, and Alexander and his horse Bucephalus—that we did not have room for in our text. The Profile pieces shed further light on interesting historical achievements by important figures, such as Pericles and Socrates, whom we could only spend a limited amount of space discussing in the context of each chapter.
* TCH2A Spotlight on Virtue: This printable PDF contains all of the discussion questions about virtue that are included on the last page of the teacher’s notes for each chapter.
* Printable PDFs of the blank maps, as well as a separate answer key, for extra geography practice
* Printable, full-color master unit time lines and timetables (also found in appendices E and F)
* The “Top 12 Things to Remember from TCH2A,” beautifully designed as a convenient reference sheet
* Printable PDFs of the reference archive charts (also found in appendix G)
