WORLD HISTORY - ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS

Annals of the World by James Ussher . The best world history book you can buy for ancient history up to the time of Christ. Christian based. Read this with your students to learn our true Christian heritage. Assign a research paper and you have an ancient world history credit.


The following resources make an excellent core curriculum for the study of Egypt, Rome, and Greece. Add some activities and composition projects and you have a complete one year unit.

ANCIENT EGYPT

Ancient Egypt (Discovery Series). This beautifully illustrated book will be enjoyed by the whole family. Learn about the ancient Egyptian culture, their religion, education, and social activities. Read about how they made mummies, wrote in hieroglyphics, and built pyramids. Not a Christian book, but a wonderful resource about ancient Egypt. As a Christian, I would use this along with Biblical information about the Egypt.

For Egypt activities, use ANCIENT EGYPT HISTORY POCKETS. Kids learn about the daily life, government, religion, architecture, language, arts and recreation of Egypt by coloring, cutting, and pasting to create a pocket notebook. It includes maps, a time line, arts and crafts, and historical information. It's geared for grades 4-6 but could be used for all primary-age children with assistance from mom or siblings. Great for the Visual Learner and all kids who like to cut, paste, and color. ISBN 155799904x.

For Rome activities, use Ancient Rome . This booklet includes activities, timeline, maps, short plays, worksheets, crafts, posters, and fun composition projects that teach the students about ancient Rome.
