your child’s history notebook.

On Map #4 again, circle Mycenae and Troy. Ask, “Do you remember when we learned about the island of
Crete? See if you can find it and label it on your map.” Draw a volcano on Crete. Label the Mediterranean Sea
and the Aegean Sea. (See the map on page 128 in UILE for assistance with labeling.) Illustrate the Trojan wars
by drawing a ship in the Aegean Sea sailing east to Troy.
☐ Draw and color a picture about what was read in this lesson. Hints: Mycenaeans on horses, the Treasury of
Atreus, or Cyclops.
☐ If you read the story of the Trojan Horse (see the book list), ask your child to make up their own modern
day Trojan horse story—a gift that turns out to be a trick.
