Teacher's Classes

This hands-on World History class will take students on an exciting journey through history from the dawn of civilization to the present day! Students will “experience history” in class as we “travel through time”. We will utilize class discussion, projects, games, and other interactive activities to learn how we arrived at this point in history.

Primary source documents, current events, and the textbook will also be investigated to aid students in understanding the various political, social, religious, and economic developments that have shaped and continue to shape the World. Emphasis will be placed on viewing history through the lens of the Bible as students develop skills that will help them become better critical thinkers and global citizens.

Textbook:      BJU Press World History (5th ed) ISBN - 978-1-62856-344-3

Successful completion of this course earns 1 High School World History Honors credit.

Using a hands-on approach to make history come alive, my desire in this course is to help your child become passionate about God’s faithful interaction through all the details in World History. We will follow a systematic approach to the class as students read the text and writings, review the lessons, complete maps, and follow a timeline. In our class time together, we will be doing performance-based activities that will include the following:  quizzes, mini- speeches, reports, plays, games, lap books, and other group-oriented history activities.

Textbook:

Notgrass – From Adam to Us.  You will need the textbooks (book 1 and 2), map book, timeline book, Lesson Review book (purchased separately), and the supplemental book Our Creative World. This set is available online as well as at the Homeschool Store.

Note:  Internet access outside of class will be critical.  Please consult with Mrs. Cervantes if you do not have internet access.
