Beginning World History is obviously not very detailed. We won't go over the entire world's history, because that would be impossible while having a fun class that would be truly beneficial. Rather, we will cover a few main events and focus mainly on the interests of the student.
Over the semester, we'll do activities to help us step into the time period we are learning about. The student will have one presentation to give on an individual or group of their choice.
The supplies we will use are:
The Story of the World by Susan Wise Bauer (the whole series, not just the first one)
A Little History of the World by E.H. Gombrich
A notebook and pen, provided by the mentor.
The reason I chose these books is that they are fun, brief, and very interesting. I myself am partial to A Little History of the World, as it is the first history book that I could barely pull myself away from reading, because it was too interesting. The Story of the World is what I used to use, and my little brother still uses. It was always very useful.
This class is recommended for children ages 8-11, but even if you are older you are certainly welcome to enjoy this class.
