好奇心編年史 - 古代歷史；第2部分

As this is the second in a year-long series of Ancient History classes, the student is expected to have completed the first fourteen weeks of the curriculum. 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). 

Our general class outline:
Week 1: Hatshepsut Builds Wonders
Week 2: King Tut Leaves a Mystery
Week 3: India Writes the Vedas
Week 4: The Zhou Make a Mandate
Week 5: Assyria Makes War
Week 6: West Africans Forge Iron
Week 7: The Nok Make Pottery
Week 8: The Greeks Sing of Heroes
Week 9: The Olmec Play Ball
Week 10: Persia Builds an Empire
Week 11: Buddha Becomes Enlightened
Week 12: China Debates Ideas
Week 13: The Greeks Fight Persia
Week 14: Athens Invents Democracy

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.
