Discovering the Ancient World
Creation thru 500 B.C.

Discovering the Ancient World begins with Creation and covers the earliest civilizations known up to 500 B.C., both Eastern and Western. For each civilization students study and map the region, study the literature of the people, the science discoveries of the times, and delve into the art, music and architecture unique to each people group. 

Comparison questions, intensive writing assignments (with an option of including the Institute for Excellence in Writing), and research skills develop critical thinking in the students. This is a multi-cultural approach to literature and composition using the actual writings from the civilizations. All literature necessary for the course is included in the user's manual. Science focuses on discoveries made during the time period with an emphasis on the concepts of these discoveries and their impact on today's technology. You will need to add Science & Math to "round out" your High School years.

Your scholar will create a coursebook, make a timeline, and mark the expansion of civilization on an unmarked world map.
Answer keys are provided for all questionnaires and tests. 
Here's what you get:
· Discovering the Ancient World's comprehensive user manual
· Answer Key Book
· All Literature selections for lit. assignments
· IEW materials integrated into assignments (these assignments are optional and require purchasing a student course notebook from IEW)
· Complete Student Pack with all forms, maps, questionnaires, quizzes and tests ready for use by your student.

Expansion of Civilization picks up at 500 B.C. and takes students through time by civilization up through the Middle Ages. Students map the expansion of civilization by mapping co-existing civilizations as they study each new area. This exciting study offers a complete Introduction to Rhetoric course along with the study of each civilization, its art, music, and architecture, and science developments. The student takes a close look at the civilization as a society noting human rights, religion, philosophy, government and laws, economics, and scientific advancements. Eastern and Western civilizations are studied chronologically and geographically. Again, the literature used is not literature about the people, but by the people and a complete anthology is included in the user's manual. Your scholar will create a coursebook, make a timeline, and mark the expansion of civilization on an unmarked world map. Answer keys are provided for all questionnaires and tests.
