The Veritas Press Omnibus curriculum is an academically rigorous program that requires students to think critically and make connections across schools of thought and across history.
Help prepare your students to jump into a Great Books-based program like Omnibus with the "History Transition Guide Vol 2: Explorers through the Present" (Volume 1 is sold-separately, or both are available as a set). It's perfect for students who have not studied history chronologically, or could use a year for a thorough historical review before diving into a more advanced curriculum.
Designed for use with the book Pages of History Volume II (which is one of the required resources for this guide), this resource will help guide students through each lesson and session. Lessons include discussion questions, comprehension questions, flashcard questions, literature questions, and projects such as mapwork exercises or worksheets. A midterm exam and line-listed answer key are provided. 91 pages, softcover. This book covers one semester. Grade 6.
