The Curious Historian
The Curious Historian is a 3-level series that presents the study of history and culture from the beginnings of civilization (Mesopotamia and Egypt) through the Middle Ages. Students will grow excited about history, see how people throughout the ages were both similar to and different from themselves, and learn to be scholars of the past who can make a difference in the future!
This robust history curriculum features teacher support, supplemental resources, lively songs, and much more! The beautiful full-color text is filled with rich details, historical time lines, and imagery of artifacts and artwork, plus a wealth of exercises, hands-on projects and activities, and appendices.
