History Odyssey: Middle Ages, Level One Grades 1-4

A well-done introduction to history can fascinate students for the rest of their lives! Pandia Press' History Guides will help bring young students through a year-long, comprehensive study of literature, world geography, and the history of the Middle Ages.

Easy-to-use lessons are arranged chronologically by region, with three "Timeline Timeouts" designed to help students synthesize the chronological events on their timeline. Lessons are designed for parents to guide students through the study, and include checkboxes for the day's reading, assignments, and activities. The Middle Ages covers monks, the Byzantine Empire, Danes, the Holy Roman Empire, Knights, Castles, the Crusades, the War of the Roses, the Pacifc Islands, Native North Americans, Shakespeare, and more.

This Level 1 guide is designed for students in grades 1-4, who are in the classical "grammar" stage of education. Full of engaging activities that tell history as an exciting story, Level 1 utilizes many activities that provide a hands-on experience through craft projects, art projects, cooking, and coloring. A keepsake book final project is also included.

43 lessons plus 18 reproducible maps. Loose-leaf pages with cover sheet. Reproducible for home use only. Grades 1-4. Following a 1-2 hours/3 days a week schedule will cover a 36-week school year.
