Then there are some suggested activities that you can do or not. Research the Silk Road and make a map.Įvery 5th chapter there is an Artist study in which you read about an art style/artist related to the time period - about halfpage of info and there are examples of the art work (black & white). Examples were select one of the dynasties studied in the chapter and learn ore about it and either write or provide an oral presentation. Pretty basic and a couple of general questions - like "What do you notice about the timeline? Does anything surprise you? Why?" And the final page for the chapter is called DIg Deeper - this is for the teacher and it provides some additional assignments you could give to your students over the week (similar to MOH). There is then a Timeline page - no gluing or assembling to an overall timeline. And the final page is something "creative" - this chapter had you draw a cartoon about Maro Polo's adventures. Next page is the Map Adventure which correlates to map provided in each chapter and there are 2 questions - pretty standard each chapter. Next is a page that does change over the chapters-this one gave you a fact and you decide which dynasty it belongs to, last chapter there was a chart to fill in on Japan's social system. Following that are 3 questions with room to answer related to the information the student is reading. The standard "what words did you find in this week's reading that you didn't know?" and then instructed to look it up, etc. Then, in each chapter there is a half page for Vocabulary. Then you turn to the TG where the worksheets are located and you'll find a written narration prompt - pretty easy question that you could choose to just discuss aloud. You typically read about 4 pages and then, printed in the book is a Narration Break bar noting to talk about the subject you just read about. We just finished up Chapter 10 - The Kahns, Genghis and Kublai so I"ll just go over that for a general sample of how a chapter works.
The answers are in the back of the guide. Also in the TG are the activity pages for the student - you'll need additional copies of the TG if you are teaching more than one student. Inside that TG you will find the scheduling pages which you can check off the column as you work through. One book is just a reader - colored pictures, sturdy paperback style. There are some added topics that were not necessarily in her original releases many moons ago.įirst - you need to purchase the set of books. Keep in mind that Angela O'Dell wrote the foundation of these books before she began working with Masterbooks so they are the same style in writing and content - not particularly deep by any means. Ok, I'll do my best on giving you a bigger snapshot into this guide (Middle Ages) because I'm currently working through particular guide this year. But, I also don't have the teacher guide, so that might solve that. I've already noticed that if I would read a section to my kids, and then read the suggested Bible passage with it, it might get too long for us. My other concern is that there doesn't seem to be a clear way to schedule it, so that would require some figuring out. I am still considering it for when we cycle back to ancients but that won't be for a couple of years. If it weren't for that, I think I would be all in. Obviously, that is a personal preference, and you should be able to tell from the samples if it's for you or not. Ok, that's a bad description! Simply put, I'm not sure I like the writing style and I think it would annoy me if I read it out loud to my kids, which is what I usually do. However, I haven't decided if I'm going to use it yet. I really like that there are suggested Bible readings with each section and I like the map work (mostly because you just look at a map and talk about it, not actually make one). It's a beautiful book with lots of colour and the photos are really nice. I own the Ancient world one but I haven't actually used it, so I'm not sure how helpful this will be.
