Ancient History and Literature is a one-year curriculum that integrates history, English, and Bible (3 full-year credits). Throughout the year, our pre-planned lessons guide the student through the entire Old Testament, while applying its truths to their lives with insightful questions and discussions. Students develop composition skills and analyze literary classics from a Christian perspective with invigorating vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking questions.

Ancient History and Literature lesson plans are written to the student for parent-guided independent work. On Fridays, the student and parent have a conference to discuss the week's topics and review completed work. There are 36 weeks of lessons, five days a week, with a somewhat lighter schedule on most Fridays. Parents assign grades based on informal discussions and daily written questions, vocabulary quizzes in the literature program, and essays for English and history. There are no formal tests for history, Bible, or literature. You will need to add science, math, and electives such as foreign language.

The Goals of Our Program Are:

Checkmark

Bible and History:

Read through the entire Old Testament, applying its truths to your life with insightful questions from Taking the Old Testament Challenge. Parents, especially fathers, are encouraged to purchase their own copy of this book and complete the study to help in guiding a weekly discussion with their child, as well as for developing personal spiritual growth. The Baker Illustrated Guide to the Bible adds in-depth information. Unwrapping the Pharaohs and The New Answers Book include archaeological discoveries and apologetics related to the Bible and history being studied.
Study history from Creation through the time of the Greeks. Assignments includes reading with comprehension questions, map work, and in-depth information about Creation and early man. Students also create a detailed timeline book. The Old Testament readings are a central focus of the history lessons and are integrated chronologically with the other history studies.
Participate in service projects chosen and/or developed by the student and the parent-teacher.

Checkmark

English:

Develop composition skills with comprehensive lessons for writing essays.
Enjoy and analyze (from a Christian perspective) literature written during or about the ancient period: the Bible, The Epic of Gilgamesh (condensed version), The Cat of Bubastes, Bulfinch's Greek and Roman Mythology, The Iliad, and The Odyssey. Vocabulary, grammar and comprehension and critical thinking questions included.

Checkmark

Math, Science, and Electives:

Math – We recommend Saxon Math with one year of Jacobs Geometry.
Science – We recommend Physical Science through Advanced Biology.
Foreign Language – Consider at least two consecutive years of a foreign language during high school.
Electives – We recommend Introduction to Logic during ninth grade.

Upgrade Your Daily Lesson Plans

If you own an older edition of Ancient History & Literature, consider exchanging it for the current edition. The core of the program has not changed, but some books have been revised or replaced.

In 2014, Exploring World History (Notgrass) was revised. We highly recommend the new version, which is much more student-friendly due to many new color illustrations. The text has only minor changes, but In Their Words (included in the set) was greatly expanded.
Also in 2014, The Student Bible Atlas replaced Historical Atlas of the World. New map activities were written in the Daily Lesson Plans, and student maps were added to the appendix. World History Map Activities was no longer needed, so it was removed from the package.

You may exchange your Ancient History & Literature Daily Lesson Plans for the current edition for $58. Please call our office at 573-202-2000 for instructions.
