Welcome back to the latest post on Free Ancient World History !

SO… WHAT DO YOU NEED FOR THIS HISTORY STUDY?

NOTHING!
Ok, not entirely true.  You need internet access.  At least some of the time.
And a little creativity!
But seriously, that’s it!!
I started writing these units while our family was living in another country whose language we didn’t yet know.  We had very limited resources.  You might have to be a little extra inventive, but you totally can use this and nothing more.

HOWEVER, I have now come up with LOTS of suggestions for Hands-On Projects, related movies, book lists, learning games, and more to ADD to the learning FUN!

Here are just a few of the posts I wrote for adding extra fun, and also a few of the materials I’ve created to go along with the Ancient Egypt section of this curriculum-

**–>CURRICULUM STARTS HERE <–**


*Ancient Egypt History Curriculum

1. Khufu- The Great Pyramid              (2500 BC   OR   2000 BC- see note below)
2. Joseph                                                 (1900 BC)
3. Joseph & Potiphar                            (1878 BC)
4. Shang Dynasty/China                      (1860 BC)
5. Queen Hatshepsut                            (1505 BC)
6. Moses                                                  (1505 BC)
7. The Exodus
8. Pharaoh Akhenaten & Nefertiti     (1366 BC)

*Note:
There are HUGE differences in the dating of the very earliest events in history.  Some brilliant scholars date the Great Pyramid and Pharaoh Khufu around 2500 BC, but others equally as studied are confident in their research and date it much later around 2000 BC.   This tends to depend on their dating of Noah’s flood (or “the flood event”).
You can find a really good article on the difficulties with Dating Ancient Egypt and the Biblical events of that time from ‘Answers In Genesis’.  And another, “Were the Pyramids Built Before the Flood?”  here.
->My personal opinion for whatever that is worth,  is to hold these dates loosely and focus on the FACT that they happened, and we can quite easily put them into chronological order even without knowing an exact date.

Below you will find the timeline from the Ancient Civilizations/Old Testament section.
Many of these dates overlap and so I thought it would be helpful to see it all in one place as you study.   This is another reason that keeping a chronological History Notebook or Binder is a great idea!  Every time you add in an event or person, you can SEE where it fits in with all of history!

**Note:  
These are just some of the basic vocabulary words you might choose for your child to know and explain the meaning.  You will also find more words listed in the vocabulary section below !  I highly suggest keeping a vocabulary notebook for each child, and allowing them to add to the notebook as they read.  This could even be done on a white board as you read aloud each day!

+Be able to describe what the government was like and name some of the well known leaders of this age.
+Be able to describe what a day in the life of a child living in ancient Egypt would be like
+Be able to retell the stories of Joseph and Moses and why they were important to the history of Egypt
+Be able to recognize art from this period
+Add at least one page per event to your binder
(Be sure you are including important people and the arts!  Further explanation below.)

 

**WHAT is a history binder/notebook?**
You will see mentions in this series to add pages to your “history binder”.  So what do I mean?
Here is how we made ours…
As we studied through each section of history, we each kept our own 3-ring binder-  an ‘all in one place’  type of timeline.  We filled the binders with fun facts, history related coloring pages, drawings, print outs, etc… each page with a date on the bottom (or at least stuck in the appropriate “period” of history).  We even added brochures from the art museum and other field trips that tied into our ancient studies!  In planning out our year, I also included biographies of important people, great artists, musicians, authors, scientists, etc. as applicable, and added them into the binder as well.  The suggestions you will find under “People”, “Places”, “Events”, and “Vocabulary” all would make great page headings to include in these binders.  As you flip through your binders to add pages, it is an automatic visual review of how these things fit together in a chronological history of our world.  The Printable History Cards also make a great addition!
Scroll down to WEEK 7 in this section to read some more ideas of what to add to your binders!

Do you have to use a history binder?
No.  You could make a huge timeline on the wall, or you could simply keep a notebook with tabs for vocabulary, important people and places, etc… This curriculum is meant to simply give you an outline to work from.  Add or take away whatever you want to make this a perfect fit for YOUR family!

How often should we “do” history?
Below is an outline of reading/activities for a three day schedule.
REMEMBER- I have included “Read”, “Watch”, and “Explore” suggestions for different ages.  You aren’t required to do ALL of the suggestions.  You could easily change this to a 5 day schedule by using the lessons as a spine and building it into a unit study (you can read HOW TO do this in the first post in this series- “Ancient World History- Teach All Ages at Once“)… you could also stretch this to a 5 day schedule by adding in some great hands on activities, more read alouds, and choosing to complete all of the suggested learning avenues.

Imagine
doing Art/Discovery Projects on the other two “off” days that are related to the era…making mummies, going on an archeological dig in your backyard, or cooking meals that would have been eaten by people of this time!  The possibilities are endless and so much FUN !!!

I will include the names and links to the books, movies, etc… used in these lessons at the bottom of this page (also you can find them in the Ancient Egyptian History Books/Resources List !  We read many GREAT historical fiction books for “Language Arts” during this study.  This is a great way to have lots of time to ENJOY reading and cover two “subject areas” at once.  It also makes these lessons super easy to use for ALL YOUR CHILDREN!


 

 

 

 

I used 2 main history books as the spine for the entire Free Ancient World History Curriculum series-
A Child’s History of the World by Virgil Hillyer (you’ll see it in the lessons as -> CHOW), and The Story of the World” series by Susan Wise Bauer (abbreviated in the lessons- SOTW).   HOWEVER, these (and all the other books I listed) are just a suggestion.  You can use one of them, all of them, another text you already have, or none of them at all!  Each daily lesson has TONS of online reading links, hands-on project suggestions, and  other options to fully explore the given topic

children's books ancient Egypt history

Teaching All Ages At Once-

The  lessons I have written in this series are after parental review, meant to be self directed for middle school ages .  But if you are using this for multiple ages like I did, I simply read the Story of the World out loud, as well as our Bible study, and some of the other historical fiction at times.  I have included a few “extra” books at the bottom of this page for younger readers and they can always be included in the hands on activities. The Old Testament Days Activity Book is my favorite for ideas that can be leveled up or made a bit more simple, but enjoyed by all!!

My “little” often colored pages to put in her own timeline binder while I read!  I was always amazed at how much she absorbed just by listening !!  You can find lots  of FREE  printable coloring and activity pages from Calvary Curriculum that go along perfectly with the daily plans below.  They have lessons, printable coloring and activity pages, etc for preschool through about 6th grade !  Who doesn’t like to color while listening to a great book after all ?!?  They are great to add in to the timeline binders for the big kids as well 🙂

Here are a few last posts I thought might be helpful in adding to the Ancient Egypt study!

+Top 10 History SONGS     (Nothing locks in history facts in like a catchy SONG!)

*BIBLE HISTORY!

Ancient Egypt plays a huge role in the Old Testament!
Studying Ancient Egypt will help you understand the Scriptures better, and studying the Scriptures will help you understand Ancient Egypt better!
Personally, I think it is a WIN WIN to add the following to this study.

SO… if you’d like to use the Bible as a text for this study each day here are some corresponding chapters.   I listed them with the number of the section (1-7) below, and also in the daily reading.
You will find corresponding page numbers/titles for readings from ‘The Victor Journey Through the Bible‘, and selected readings online as well.  

You could DEFINITELY add more to round out the topic, but my intention with this series of History studies is to give you a spine to work from as time, and curiosity warrant.   It was a super exciting thing as an adult to see how the history I learned in school was not separate from the stories (HISTORY) in the Bible, but all one beautiful tapestry!

The  Chronological Illustrated Bible  and  The Victor Journey Through the Bible  are great resources for the Ancient History series and can be used through the Ancient Rome study !  And if you’re reallllly excited and want to dig even deeper, I’m including the corresponding pages for -“Genesis:  Finding Our Roots” , that you may have used in the Ancient Civilizations/OT section also.

*Week 4-  Ancient China/Shang Dynasty

*Note:

If you are wondering what in the world a week on Ancient China is doing in the middle of an Ancient Egypt curriculum, you probably aren’t alone!

As you are probably seeing throughout this curriculum, I think it is IMPERATIVE that we are seeing history unfold and how all parts overlap.  The span of time this civilization encompasses (6,000BC-1750BC depending on who you ask 😀 ), and all of it’s contributions to our world are absolutely amazing!  It is also quite remarkable how many similarities in culture these two ancients share. 

You may also be wondering if China is so ancient, is it mentioned in the Bible?

We know China is mentioned in Revelation 16 concerning end times, but what about in in the Old Testament?   This article about Noah’s Sons and The Ancient Chinese from bible.org was very helpful!  You may like to share it with your older children (it’s quite detailed), but I also included a more simple explanation in Day 1 below.  It might also be helpful to explain that the writers of Scripture as a rule, did NOT denote races of people by the color of their skin  as is often done in our culture today.  The different races of people are set apart by their ancestry and geography. 
You may also like to read this short & simple post on  Dating History and Biblical Chronology.  It would be a great conversation to have with older kiddos especially.  I think there is LOTS to learn, consider, and DISCOVER in our history treasure hunting!
Here also, are 4 other brief articles I found in my search that were quite interesting and on the topic of Ancient China.

*Out Of…Asia?

*Chinese Characters And Genesis

*The Original Unknown God of China

*Lamb of God Hidden in Chinese Characters

I plan on adding Ancient China as it’s own section at some point, but didn’t want to omit it for those working through this series right now.  This would also be a good spot to add in a World Religions section if you are doing this unit with older students!

*Week 6-  Read It !

The goal for this week is to fully ENJOY our topic of study through reading. 
Relaxed, but focused !  You could read one longish historical fiction book (or several),  or for those students who prefer visual learning, you could stock them up with a basket of great resource books from the library.
We read  “Tirzah”


It also would be a great week to combine with Week 7 and start making a History Museum or just a few of the projects…. OR you could start on the pages for your history notebooks if you haven’t already.  The reading might fire up some pretty creative ideas for notebooking pages too!

You can find lots of suggestions for all types of great historical fiction, choose your own adventure, and non-fiction books in my the Ancient Egypt Booklist.
