Printed in Full Color
The Mystery of History Volume III brings to life the master painters and sculptors, the scientists and philosophers, and the many explorers whose exploits we still talk about today. Volume III has been printed in full color to best represent the beautiful artwork covered in this period. Though Volumes I and II are recommended to be studied before this volume, it is not necessary. Volume III can stand alone as a complete Renaissance/Reformation history course.
Multi-Age Activities
Not just a textbook, Volume III includes a digital (as a download code) Companion Guide. This Companion Guide is brimming with multi-age activities, hands-on activities, and research projects for younger, middle, and older students. It also includes memory card ideas, bi-weekly quizzes, exercises, timeline helps; maps; supplemental book lists, etc. This option is particularly beneficial for families with younger students in elementary and middle grades.
Eighty-Four Lessons
The Student Reader contains 84 stirring lessons for seventh-grade and older readers written in a conversational style. However, it can also be used with younger students or as a read-aloud.
Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about this product below:
One difference between the two series is their target age. The Story of the World is primarily for elementary students, with Volume I recommended for 1st through 4th grade and Volume IV for 4th through 8th grade. The Mystery of History's reading level begins at about 4th or 5th grade in Volume I and progresses to 10th or 11th grade in Volume IV, although it is easily adaptable for multiple ages.
Another key difference is the religious perspective. The Story of the World aims to narrate from a neutral perspective. It covers major religious characters and historical events but does not endorse a particular religious view. The Mystery of History is written from a clearly Christian perspective and integrates biblical and church history into the text.
A minor difference between the two series is the student work involved. The Story of the World revolves around the narrative, so all activities, while engaging, are optional. The Mystery of History is also narrative-based but expects more student work. Nonetheless, it is highly adaptable to each student's age and family preferences.
