Publisher's Description of Book of the Ancient World Student Guide
Dorothy Mills wrote some wonderful history books in the 1920s for use by middle school students, and Memoria Press is proud to bring these books back into publication—with added illustrations! Mills’ books include quotes from great classical historians such as Herodotus and Cicero, making them a great preparation for reading these authors in high school. We wrote study guides to go with Mills’ books so that you can have a total classical history curriculum in the middle school years. Our study guides contain reading notes, vocabulary, comprehension questions, enrichment activities, maps, and tests.
The Student Guide contains Facts to Know, Vocabulary, Comprehension Questions, and Activities. The answers are contained in the Teacher Guide (sold separately).

One strong emphasis in these literature courses (which could be used as stand alone studies) is the identification, understanding, and memorization of quotations.

Teacher Books are full-text answer keys with reproducible tests and tests answer keys. Tests include identification of people and places, multiple choice questions, short answer questions, a section on quotations and one on memorization. ~ Janice
