Joshua through Malachi & Ancient Greece


Categories:
History, Geography, Bible, Lesson Plans


Suggested Grades: 1 - 12, Family


Product Description:

 A great study. Simply Charlotte Mason (SCM) has written these lesson plans with families in mind. These lesson plans are for all children - all grades. Subjects covered are Bible, History of Ancient Greece, and the Geography of the Middle East.  The study suggest these books as the spine of the study: 

Visits to the Middle East is apart of SCM's Geography series, Visits to... In this study the family takes a look at different families throughout the Middle East from the readings of Hungry Planet and Material World by Peter Menzel, along with other great books. These books are then combined with additional readings for the children according to grades 1-3. 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12. Many of the books used to supplement this study can be found online or at your local library.

This study is split into three- twelve week terms. Each lesson list for the parent the materials needed for that lesson. It is then followed by describing how to use each material according to family and grade levels. SCM then lists reminders for you as well. So if you are like me and need to be reminded when a different book is scheduled later in the lessons, you'll enjoy having a reminder.

Charlotte Mason methods used in this study are short lessons for attention, narration, map drills, living books, hands-on projects and for older students a Book of Centuries. The Book of Centuries is their own timeline notebook. If, however, you're children are too young to have their own Book of Centuries, then create a family Book of Centuries.

You can download a sample by going here.

Charlotte Mason methods used in this study include: Living Books, Short Lessons, Bible Readings, Listening Attentively, Narrating, Living Geography, Writing

Visits to Geography Series

by Simply Charlotte Mason

Categories: Geography, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece,  Europe


Suggested Grades: 1 - 12, Family


Product Description:

Simply Charlotte Mason (SCM) has made geography a gentle approach with their Visits to... series. In these studies students will be able to see pictures of real places and real people. This study works with Hungry Planet and Material World by Peter Menzel, to give you a traveler's first hand account of these amazing places and people.


SCM also uses many other great living books in each series that of course corresponds to that series. Most of these books you can find at your local library, ebay, or amazon.com.



Along with great living books SCM has included a step-by-step map study. Throughout the study the child is given a copy of the continent with a few places named on the map. With each Visit to... (lesson)  the child gradually adds more and more places on the map. This kind of map study allows the child to memorize the map of the continent in a gentle approach.

Charlotte Mason methods used in this study are living books, narration and discussion questions, map study, and activities.



These studies correspond to SCM's family study handbooks.

Visits to Africa - Genesis through Deuteronomy & Ancient Egypt
Visits to Middle East - Joshua through Malachi & Ancient Greece
Visits to Europe - Matthew through Acts & Ancient Rome
Visits to North America - Modern Times, Epistles & Revelation
Visits to South and Central America, Australia
Visits to Asia (Coming Soon)



Charlotte Mason methods used in this study includes: Living Geography, Living Books, Map Study, Narrating, and Hands On Activities.
