Living Books for Ancient History
I say it often – one of the best parts about homeschooling is redeeming my own education, especially when it comes to World History. The whole scope of history – from the creation of the world to the present. Following, you will find to links to all the posts I did on using books for Ancient History.
Nothing is new under the sun and studying all of history really helps you grasp that. Additionally much of what is considered standard in our society today, began
in these ancient times (government, our calendar, plumbing etc.)
In our homeschool we use a textbook-free approach to learning history.
Three of the most important times in ancient history are Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.
Ancient Egypt:
Here’s our booklist for Ancient Egypt and we also did some pretty rad hands-on activities. Between the mummies, pyramids and hieroglyphics, Ancient Egypt is pretty fascinating to study!
Ancient Greece
From philosophy and politics to art and medicine – the happenings of Ancient Greece had a huge influence on western civilization. Here’s our Ancient Greece booklist.
Ancient Rome
Last (but not least) of the Ancients – Ancient Rome. As a Christian, this was especially interesting to study because Jesus walked the earth during this time. Here is our booklist for Ancient Rome.
We thoroughly enjoyed using living books for Ancient History.
