History Odyssey: Ancients, Level Two Grades 5-9

History is the grand, old story of people---so much more than dates and places! Pandia Press' History Guides will help homeschoolers through a year-long, comprehensive study of literature, historical events, and geography of the Ancient Times.

Easy-to-use lessons are arranged chronologically by region, with three "Timeline Timeouts" designed to help students synthesize the chronological events on their timeline. Lessons are written for students to use independently, and include checkboxes for the day's reading, assignments, and what to mark on the timeline. Writing assignments, map work, and a variety of activities on the first civilizations, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Ancient Africa, Assyria, Babylon, China, Phoenicia, India, Persia, Greece, Rome, and other countries are included.

This Level 2 guide is designed for students grades 7-9, who are in the classical "logic" stage of education. In level two, students learn information organization, literary analysis, research skills, and writing skills through reading some of the greatest historical literature for each time period. Level two also teaches outlining, timeline analysis, geography, and critical thinking. The end of the guide includes all the necessary Timeline Timeout Worksheets, Timeline Analysis Worksheets, Map of Thera's long journey, and blackline maps of ancient history.
