Fully integrating the Bible with history, Diana Waring's bestselling World Empires, Missions, and Wars curriculum is packed with activities, readings, and information specifically designed for students of any learning style. Focusing on world history during the years 1800-1956 lessons offer an explicitly Christian perspective on world events. Covering the Napoleonic Wars alongside the Modern Missions Movement, the Industrial Revolution to Jim Elliot's martyrdom in Ecuador, this curriculum integrates the historic events in the world with Church history.
Nine units each contain four weeks' worth of information, online and book readings, discussion questions, research, timeline activities, map work, art, science, music, cooking, drama and a variety of creative activities. Each of the nine units can be completed in one month, with each unit featuring four weekly "phases" based on different learning styles. Taking a Charlotte Mason/Unit-Study approach, different levels of projects and books allow for multi-age learning for students in grades 5-12.
Every effort is made for students to engage in the material through exploring, researching and using it in a way that makes history lessons meaningful to their lives. By reading the lessons, engaging in the activities, and searching out answers for themselves, students will gain a firm understanding of modern world events.
