Letter to Parents and Teachers Th ank you for purchasing this History Odyssey study guide. If you are familiar with a classical approach to history, you know your child will be spending the next school year immersed in the wonderful story of early modern history. If this is your first time using History Odyssey, take the time to read through these introductory pages, gather materials and work out a schedule for history based on your child’s abilities. History Odyssey provides the structure and framework for using and organizing many of the best resources available for the study of mankind. This is not a textbook approach! If you or your child would rather take a fill-in-the-blanks workbook approach to history, then there are plenty of those curricula available. History Odyssey’s unique approach for this age group is one that encompasses literature, activities, and geography. As your child progresses through this guide, he or she will be learning about ancient history through reading many of the best books written about this time period. Your child will be learning geography and be engaged in exciting activities. History Odyssey presents history in a way that is exciting and memorable. Most parents and teachers find themselves wishing they had been taught history this way. So don’t be surprised if you find yourself learning and having fun right along with your child or student! How to Use This Guide Adapting for Different Levels These lesson plans are written for a student who is in the grammar stage of a classical education or in the first, second, third, or fourth grade (approximately 6-10 years old). That is a big span. There can a tremendous reading and comprehension skill discrepancy between a typical first- and fourth-grade student. These plans have been carefully formulated to provide material to meet the needs of all grammar-stage students no matter what their level or ability. Here are some further suggestions for adapting these plans for students at either end of the spectrum: Advanced Level (independent reader) - Independently read books or read aloud to the group Heavy focus on map work Add resources (especially whole books and classic literature) History lessons three times per week (use the third lesson for further research or independent reading) Outline lessons or write summaries Beginning Level (not reading independently) - Read books to the child Less focus on map work More focus on coloring and activities History lessons one or two times per week Have child copy or dictate summary sentences and dictionary words 5
