Your child will witness the rise and fall of a great civilization through the lives of larger-than-life figures. In this new edition, there are added maps of Rome, Italy, and the Roman Empire, and a glossary of people and places.
Each of the 30 workbook lessons includes famous quotes, a drill of key people and places, 10 vocabulary words, 5-10 comprehension questions, and an activities section that includes map work, discussion questions, and research projects.
The program also comes with an appendix of supplements, including maps of ancient Rome and Italy and modern Europe, a “Who Said That?” worksheet, a timeline beginning with the founding of Rome, drill questions, and drawing pages.
Why study history through its famous men? Haaren and Poland answer in their preface: “The study of history, like the study of a landscape, should begin with the most conspicuous features. Not until these have been fixed in memory will the lesser features fall into their appropriate places and assume their right proportions.
In order to attract and hold the child’s attention, each conspicuous feature of history presented to him should have an individual for its center. The child sees himself as this individual. It is not Romulus or Hercules or Caesar or Alexander that the child has in mind when he reads, but himself, acting under the prescribed conditions.
Prominent educators, appreciating these truths, have long recognized the value of biography as a preparation for the study of history and have given it an important place in their scheme of studies.”
