About this deal

Based on Ussher’s The Annals of the World and featuring colorful artwork representing people and events from creation to the late 19th century, this vintage biblical and historical timeline was originally published in 1871. Post it on your walls and let it inform your kids’ imaginations as they learn. Features 21 foldout 13″ x 28″ panels. Take time to peruse the literature suggestions in the Companion Guide. You can read a selection aloud and/or assign reading to your student on their own time. There are so many great books to read, and you might never read them all, so choose which topics you want to focus on. My favorites are exciting historical fiction; if you want your kids to be hooked on a topic, use historical fiction! (I usually always have one book going as a read-aloud, and will read 1-2 chapters per day.) Mystery of History Lesson Plans for Middle School and High School

Writing: We are using Institute for Excellence in Writing Ancient History Writing Lessons for my kids who are 12 and up. I’m aligning the writing lessons with the Mystery of History topics. I have the 2014 edition, if that helps. Each edition is slightly different, and so has slightly different topics. My 9-year-old is using copywork that I have personally chosen for each lesson.

Mystery of History Volume I Companion Guide

Volume III covers the time period of the Reformation. Although Hobar does a better than average job of trying to present the Catholic side of issues, such as indulgences, the content is strongly Protestant. Mystery of History is enough history for K-8, especially when you have loads of additional projects and activities you can do. As your kids get older and head into high school, you can still use MOH but will likely want to require additional reading or work. We’ll discuss the question of high school below in another section. UPDATE 2023: We dropped this book partway through because it was kind of dry, and I felt the Mystery of History lessons were much more engaging. History of the Ancient World by Susan Wise Bauer. This is a high school/college level book by the author of Story of the World. Think of it as the grown-up version of Story of the World. I’m using this with my teen son and nephews. We are not reading every single chapter, but most of them. I feel that this gives them a pretty thorough high school level history course. We use the Study and Teaching Guide, as well. I have the hardcover and the Audible version. Audible now has accompanying PDFs with so many of their audiobooks now, and the PDF for this book is so helpful. I print out the full size maps for geography work. Monday: Take the pretest, which I would do orally with my children. Read lesson one. Do the activity*

Week 12: Lessons 34-36: The Phoenicians, The Kingdom of Israel Divides, and Elijah the Fiery Prophet Week 7: Lessons 19-21: Moses and the Exodus, the Ark of the Covenant and the Tabernacle, and Joshua, Jericho, and RahabIn all of the volumes, Linda Lacour Hobar emphasizes God’s hand in history, tracing His sovereignty throughout all of human history.
