History Odyssey Ancients Level 1 (Plus Binder)

History Odyssey brings to life the story of mankind through a comprehensive study of the literature, historical events, and geography of the time period. Each study guide is intended to lead the instructor and student through a year-long study of the Ancients, the Middle Ages, Early Modern, or Modern time periods. They provide the framework and structure for using and organizing many of the best resources available for history and literature. The study guides include easy-to-follow lessons that present history chronologically and include reading and writing assignments, map work, and activities. Each level of History Odyssey progresses gently, preparing the student for more complicated reading and writing. Level 1 - Grades 1-4. (Binder included)Available in three levels, students of all ages study events from ancient civilizations including first farming, the Code of Hammurabi, the invention of writing, the Diaspora, Greek democracy, and the rise and fall of Rome. These comprehensive courses cover success and failures of Ancient civilizations from all parts of the world such as the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, the Mayans, the Hittites, the Persians, the Mesopotamians, and many others.

The starting point in history is also the starting point in History Odyssey. Ancients is the most basic of all the time periods. (With the exception of level three. Level three courses do not get increasingly more difficult). Like all History Odyssey courses, each Ancients course carefully and gradually integrates literature and writing into the study of history. Geography is interwoven with history making it meaningful and memorable.
