The Story of the World 3 Bundle
World history from 1600 to 1850 includes exploration, revolutions, expanding empires, scientific discoveries, political change, and rapid cultural shifts. This bundle combines story-driven history, hands-on activities, and audio learning to help students connect people, places, and events across the Early Modern period.
Students encounter explorers, rulers, inventors, political movements, changing civilizations, and major world events as they build a broader understanding of how societies changed during the Early Modern era.
Designed primarily for grades 1–6, Volume 3 serves as the third book in Susan Wise Bauer’s four-volume world history series.
The history text includes:
- A pronunciation guide for unfamiliar names and places
- Timelines to help students follow historical progression
- Illustrations by Jeff West
- Maps throughout the book to reinforce geography and historical context
The companion Activity Book extends learning through:
- Geography exercises and map work
- Review questions and narration activities
- Coloring pages and hands-on projects
- Historical games and creative activities
- Literature suggestions and encyclopedia connections
- Research activities and extension ideas
Students might pan for gold, color historical figures, create period-inspired designs, play historical games, or explore activities connected to major historical events from the Early Modern period.
The audiobook, narrated by Jim Weiss, provides another way to experience the curriculum through listening during car rides, quiet time, independent listening sessions, or additional review.
The Story of the World is not faith-based but introduces important historical figures, cultures, and religions throughout world history. Families who prefer additional worldview discussions can easily expand conversations as topics arise.
Whether students are reading, listening, mapping, discussing, researching, creating, or building projects, the goal is simple: help Early Modern history become something students interact with rather than simply memorize.
