Class Description
In this semester, we will study Ancient History, using The History of the Ancient World: From the Earliest Accounts to the Fall of Rome by Susan Wise Bauer as our text. Students will be required to read from the text each week at home. A typical week will include reading about 6 chapters and about 50 pages. However, this is not as arduous as it sounds. The chapters include maps, illustrations, and inset excerpts of ancient texts. So it is not 50 pages of solid text.

It is important that your child commit to doing the reading at home each week, as we will not be reviewing all of the reading material in class. Instead, we will discuss a few highlights from the readings, make connections between various societies we have studied, consider the stories in the context of timeline and influence, and do map work and other hands on activities.
Homework other than reading, will include a small amount of written work per week and three essays per semester. Students should expect to spend 2-3 hours per week on reading and homework for this academic high school class. Class assignments will be posted to Google Classroom, and grades will be given.
