By combining World History with English (literature and composition) and the Bible, Ray Notgrass puts it all into perspective. Instead of studying isolated subjects, the history of the world we live in is seen in light of the words of the creator of the world as well as the words and stories of notable people that have been a part of the world.
While working with one curriculum, your high school aged child will earn 3 high school credits -- World History, English and Bible. Ray Notgrass has written Exploring World History to the student and expects the student to work fairly independently. The student will be expected to read the lesson in the book as well as the assigned reading from the book list. There will also be reading assignments from In Their Words -- a book of poems, hymns and short stories. Each week there will be writing assignments as well as 4 grammar points. One day each week is set aside for Bible study. This Bible study is designed to complement the period of world history being studied. There are discussion questions that can be done orally or in writing. The student will also be given the opportunity to study a country of their choosing in great detail.
To complete this study, your student will need (in addition to their Bible):
- Exploring World History Package -- Part 1: Creation through the Middle Ages
- Exploring World History -- Part 2: The Renaissance to the Present
- In Their Words: Original Documents, Poetry, Stories, and Hymns from World History
- Exploring World History Quiz and Exam Book (Optional)
- Literature books that can either be purchased or found in your library:
- Mere Christianity (C.S. Lewis)
- The Cat of Bubastes (G.A. Henty)
- Julius Caesar (William Shakespeare)
- The Imitation of Christ (Thomas a Kempis)
- Here I Stand (Roland Bainton)
- Pilgrim's Progress (John Bunyan)
- A Tale of Two Cities (Charles Dickens)
- Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen)
- Heart of Darkness (Joseph Conrad)
- Eric Liddell: Pure Gold (David McCasland)
- The Hiding Place (Corrie Ten Boom)
- Animal Farm (George Orwell)
- The Abolition of Man (C.S. Lewis)
