Exploring World History

Exploring World History provides material for one entire school year in three subjects: world history, English, and Bible. To complete one credit in world history, one credit in English, and one credit in Bible, the student must read the text in Exploring World History Part 1 and Part 2 and complete the weekly and daily assignments as they are given in those volumes.

Students should complete each day's assignments on that day. The student should expect to spend an average of 50 to 60 minutes on each subject each day. The actual time spent on each subject on a given day will vary, but you should allow your student about 2 1/2 to 3 hours per day to complete all three subjects.

We believe that you are in charge of your child's education and that you know best how to use this material to educate your child. We provide you with tools and instructions, but we encourage you to tailor them to fit your child's interests and abilities and your family's situation and philosophy. You might need to experiment with the curriculum for two or three weeks to know how your student can use it most effectively in your situation. Being able to do this is one of the benefits of homeschooling!

Course Descriptions

You can use the following course descriptions as you develop your school records, produce a high school transcript, or report grades.

World History. This course is a survey of world history from Creation to the 21st Century. The course discusses civilizations from around the world. A special emphasis is placed on key events, key ideas, key persons, and everyday life in various time periods of world history. The student reads a significant number of original documents and speeches while studying the narrative of lessons.

English: World Literature and Composition. The student reads classic works of world literature including novels, short stories, devotional literature, plays, theological essays, biographies, memoirs, poetry, and hymns. Emphasis is placed on how the literature reflects the historical settings of the works. The student also has several writing assignments. Most of these are based on historical issues from the various periods of world history. The writing assignments take several forms, including essays, editorials, speeches, and letters. (Note: You have the option of assigning a 2,000-2,500 word research paper [see page xii in Part 1]. You also have the option of assigning other kinds of projects for each unit as alternatives to writing. You will need to decide how often your student will complete a writing assignment and how often he or she will complete another project.)

Bible: Issues in World History. This course provides an overview of the Bible and Bible history, including both its message of faith and how it complements our understanding of history. The student reads several complete books of the Bible as well as several of the Psalms and portions of other books. The student also studies such topics as Old Testament history, church history, the inspiration and authority of the Bible, and how to study a New Testament letter. Topical Bible studies bring Biblical teachings to bear on several of the historical issues discussed. (Note: The Bible study component of this curriculum is concentrated in the first half since that part covers Old Testament and New Testament times, but the second half has a significant amount of Bible study also.)
