Famous Men of Rome
(Note: this class also includes occasional "gap weeks" that are filled in with the later chapters of Story of the World 1. Your child does not need to do SOTW but we find that it helps balance out the history so that children can have a more world history education)
Suggested Grades: 5th-8th Grade
Prerequisites: None, although this is a great "part 2" of Ancient History and is a follow up for our Story of the World 1 (aka Ancient History part 1).
In this class, your child will work though the second half of ancient history. This is mainly Rome through the Famous Men of Rome book but also with our "gap weeks" of SOTW1, they will also cover ancient India & China.
Children will read the designated chapter at home before class and then we work through the comprehension questions in class.
Children will work through the workbook which includes famous quotes, vocabulary, timelines, and maps at home after class.
Although it is not mandatory, we do encourage a bit of review work with Quizlet. We provide a Quizlet link to the proper sets.
There is also a review week after each 5 or so lessons in which the kids get to play History Jeopardy for review before taking a test at the end of that week (if parents desire to test their child).
In additional to all of this, we also provide an additional reading list that we feel helps reinforce each lesson. These are typically wonderful "living books" that correspond to the era of history that the kids are currently learning.
