Description
From homeschooling parent James Stobaugh, World History: Observations and Assessments from Early Cultures to Today provides a comprehensive overview of world history for students in grades 9-12. This student textbook covers Mesopotamia, the Jewish Exile, Egyptian life, Greece, Rome, Japan, Indian, Persian, and Chinese history, as well as the Crusades, renaissance, reformation, and more.
Thirty-four chapters each include five daily lessons which take approximately 20-30 minutes each. A short reading is followed by critical thinking questions; an exam is given on the last day of the week. Background information, Bloom’s Taxonomy-based questions, concepts, biographical sketches, historical debate updates, worldview notes, and history overview components work together to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of historiographical material from a Christian perspective.
Lessons are one-page and easy-to-read with black-and-white photographs integrated throughout; critical thinking assignments are given in the bottom corner.
The teacher’s guide is organized by chapter and lesson, and the assignment questions are repeated with the suggested correct answers underneath. An exam key, often comprised of two questions and answers, is also provided for Day 5 of each week. Chapter exams (the same exams given for day 5 throughout the book) are all listed in the back with point values assigned for each.
This high school-level set includes:
- World History Student Text, 288 pages with timeline, softcover.
- World History Teacher’s Guide, 143 pages, softcover.
