큐리오시티 연대기 - 고대 역사; 3부

As this is the third in a year-long series of Ancient History classes, students are expected to have completed the prior two sections. This class uses the Curiosity Chronicles curriculum to teach Ancient History for 1st to 5th graders. Curiosity Chronicles teaches history via conversation between two main characters - Mona and Ted - allowing for the study of history to feel more fun than academic! The student textbook and activity guide will be provided for home use. I teach in a socratic style, preferring to ask students for their thoughts rather than impart my own. As a result, classes tend to be discussion-based. Each week, we will read a chapter of the student text, complete the student activity pages, and begin the coloring pages (meeting 1), as well as work on a timeline, complete map work, and finish our coloring pages (meeting 2). Every third week will feature a review activity to ensure students are retaining the information covered.

Our general class outline:
Week 1: The Greeks Get Inventing
Week 2: Alexander Goes Conquering
Week 3: Ashoka Has a Change of Heart
Week 4: Rome Starts with Blood
Week 5: China is United
Week 6: The Han Build an Empire
Week 7: Caesar Takes Over
Week 8: Augustus Rules the Empire
Week 9: Rome Becomes Christian
Week 10: India Starts an Empire
Week 11: The Hopewell Build Mounds
Week 12: The Nazca Draw Lines
Week 13: The Mayans Chart the Sky
Week 14: Rome Falls Apart

Students will have the option to read aloud or follow along, at their comfort level. This class is intended as an elementary history class, so while additional resources are listed in the textbook, we will cover them only as time permits. Students will need access to their textbook and each chapter's activity guide materials while in class.
