Synopsis

Colonial History is a history course that covers from approximately AD 1500 to 1800. It includes the history of people all over the world from Europe to Africa to Asia to the Americas. In it students learn the major events that shaped the past, see how kings and governments treated their people, and determine what causes nations to thrive. Students are asked to read widely, think deeply, and get their hands messy.

This is not a textbook; it is a guidebook for mentors to use as lessons and resources to design a custom course for your students.

A Pick-and-Choose Curriculum

A mentor uses Colonial History to custom tailor learning to the students. The mentor chooses from among the library book recommendations, video recommendations, and activity ideas presented in the book. Mentors and students learn together as they read, watch, craft, cook, play, and create. To complete the activities you will need craft supplies and some household items. This course was designed for multiple ages or abilities of students to learn together in a homeschool or classroom.

Reusable

Each unit intentionally contains more information and activities than you will be able to complete. The mentor chooses among the options to design a course just for his or her students. Then, in four years, once the entire Layers of Learning cycle has been completed, you all return to the book and do new activities at a higher level of learning. This course was designed for multiple ages or abilities of students to learn together in a homeschool or classroom and contains activities that will appeal to little ones and to high schoolers, often at the same time.
