| Geography Resources |
| Geography with History: Middle Ages, Renaissance, and Reformation takes a closer look at the time after the fall of the Roman Empire. The student explores the developing European countries, and some of the surrounding territories. They look into the relationship of the early church leaders with the kings and princes of this time. They get glimpses of the towering cathedrals, looming castles, mighty kings, and weary peasants. They watch the Renaissance man use innovative ideas to change the way people live. The student walks alongside men and women who were willing to risk their lives for their faith in God. As they explore the history of the Middle Ages, students will systematically cover each of the 18 standards developed by the Geography Education Standards Project. Geography Songs uses songs to encourage the child to memorize all the countries, capitals, and oceans around the world. Uncle Josh's Outline Map Book provides blackline maps needed to complete the mapping exercises in the Geography with History lessons. Choose between the print version and the CD-ROM version. |

| Writing Resources |
| Writing with History: Middle Ages, Renaissance, and Reformation uses the history topics studied in Story of the World, VP History Cards, Story of the Middle Ages, and Story of the Renaissance and Reformation and integrates them with writing lessons. These writing lessons equip the child to incrementally improve their writing throughout the year. The child begins to identify the parts of speech and use descriptive, powerful words instead of weak, bland words. In short, they learn to communicate their thoughts, ideas, and imaginations more clearly throughout the writing lessons. The History Copybooks, which are available in two levels, provide handwriting practice while the child copies ancient writings, Scripture verses, poems, and passages. |

| Music Resources |

During this study the student gains a more complete sense of the time period and its people while learning musical concepts. As the year progresses, the student learns how instruments were made and how music enhanced life. They also learn about musical notation, musical forms, and instrument classification. By the end of the year, the student will have covered the standards developed by the National Association for Music Education. |
