The Mystery of History Volume IV
The Mystery of History Volume IV, the last and final volume of this world history series, covers three weighty centuries from 1708 to 2014. Starting with Bach and Handel, two of the four significant composers included in Volume IV, the period will see numerous "wars of independence." From the American colonies, the heart of Mexico, the goldmines of Australia, the mountaintops of South America, the shores of Greece, and the walls of the Alamo, we will find mankind desperately striving for liberty and freedom through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. He will often achieve it – but seldom without heartache, revolution, and bloodshed!
The Mystery of History Volume IV is written at a 9th-10th grade reading level and is geared primarily for older students. Due to modern history's more tragic and gruesome events, some families will prefer to use Volume IV with only high school students or skip portions when working with younger students. As with other volumes in this series, activities are provided for ages from K-12th Grade. The Mystery of History is for you when your family is ready to study history in an in-depth, Bible-centered, chronological fashion.
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.
