Course Description: In this class, we will examine early modern world history through the thought-provoking and engaging Story of the World curriculum. We will spend our time exploring history through literature, music, food, and hands-on learning activities. Through these activities we will seek to better understand the world around us through a Biblical lens while making history come to life! I firmly believe that any subject can be truly enjoyed through creative and engaging learning processes. Your child will not only learn to love history but they will be honing their writing, observational, interpersonal, and critical-thinking skills through map-work, short-writing exercises, group activities, and public speaking practice. Examples of a few of the topics that will be covered include: The Holy Roman Empire, New Colonies in the New World, The Thirty Years’ War, Plague and Fire in England, The Universal Laws of Newton and Locke, The American Revolution, The Zulu Kingdom, The Trail of Tears, and The Gold Rush. Homework for this class will mostly consist of reading and or listening to the assigned chapters and optional work from the activity workbook. Since no formal grades will be taken in this class, projects and assignments are purely meant for the mastery of subject material and practice for the future. Tests and quizzes will be done as review/game-style activities in order to solidify the information covered. Parental involvement with at-home assignments is encouraged so as to continue the learning process at home and for your child to be better prepared for our next class meeting.
