| Geography Resources |
| Geography with History: Old Testament and the Ancient World takes a close look at the land where time began. Traveling alongside the Patriarchs of the Old Testament, the student explores the lands of Ancient Mesopotamia, Canaan, Egypt, and some of the surrounding territories. They make connections between the history told in the Bible, and how it interacts with the history of the ancient world. They get glimpses of the amazing mummies, pyramids, and temples of Ancient Egypt. As they explore the history of the ancient world, students 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: Old Testament and the Ancient World uses the history topics studied in Story of the World, VP History Cards, and Story of the Ancient World 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 |
