There will be twelve guides when the series is complete currently, there are still several guides in production. The first level is intended for grades 1-4, the second level for grades 5-8, and the third level for grades 9-12. There are three levels to the program, so if you completed the whole series, you would cycle through world history three times - once in elementary, once in middle school, and once in high school education. History Odyssey is basically a series of study guides, with one guide covering one era of history (Ancients, Middle Ages, Early Modern, or Modern) in one year.

#USBORNE QUICKLINKS ANCIENT WORLD PROFESSIONAL#

Although it may sound too good to be true, luckily for you it's not! Author Kathleen Desmarais has done an awesome job of combining an excellent variety of resources and activities and presenting it all in a very straight-forward, professional way that takes the stress of lesson planning off of you and puts the accountability and expectations squarely on your history student. Imagine a classically-based history course where your child reads great history books and period-related literature, keeps a running timeline of the period studied, writes outlines and summaries of important people and events, completes history-related map work, and does all of this without extensive planning on mom's part. However, the rest of the sections (Ancient World, Medieval World, Last 500 Years) are more factual and make up for the first.

This section outlines evolution and likely contains objectionable material. Note: The first 100 or so pages of the book discuss the 'Prehistoric World' (starting 4,550 million years ago with the Big Bang and proceeding to 12,000 years ago when the last ice age came to an end). Some sights are interactive, where you can, for example, reenact the Battle of Hastings, and some are treasure troves of information, maps, timelines, and diagrams. For a study of the ancient world you can get virtual tours of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, a virtual walking tour of Rome and Athens, learn to speak Ancient Greek, write in hieroglyphics, take interactive tours of museums, explore the Valley of Kings in Egypt and learn about the pharaohs buried there and their tombs through photos and panoramic movies, view profiles of famous Romans and Greeks, explore a clickable Roman marketplace, and loads more.
