Description
Year Four, Modern history, walks American and World History side-by-side once again. Pick up where Volume 3 left off, in about 1850, and end with the War in the Middle East (2001). Modern also follows the previous BiblioPlan format. There is one hardcover Remember the Days textbook for grades K-7, and two soft-cover Companion textbooks for grades 8-12. This 6-Unit (34 weeks) course of study sends students trekking through major wars of the 19th and 20th century and just peeks into the 21st century. Students also find themselves traveling with missionaries sharing the Word of God.
Wars shadow the 19th and 20th centuries as history reveals empires and countries at war with one another from the Crimean and Opium Wars, the Franco-Prussian War, to the wars that dragged the entire world into conflict. The world history side of Volume 4 weaves a tapestry of conflict happening worldwide. The U.S. side highlights significant movements: the Underground Railroad, Reconstruction, the Transcontinental Railroad, to the Gilded Age. The history concludes in 2001 with 9/11 and the wars in the Middle East. Within this tapestry of conflict, follow the threads of missionaries as they embark into a world that sometimes rejects their message of faith, hope, and love. Travel alongside missionaries like Lottie Moon, Eric Liddell, Brother Andrew, and many others, learning their stories and the impact their dedication had for Christ's Kingdom.
The Family Guide will take you step-by-step through text readings from either one of the textbooks. Further literature, audio, videos, maps, and activities are all found in individual spiral-bound books. Material found within each spiral-bound book may be reproduced for family needs. Select exactly what you want to cover with this program for each student (K-12) while studying Modern History together.
