Classical Curriculum CD

The Ancient Greece Curriculum CD includes dozens of engaging books for students of all abilities—from children's mythology to simplified versions of Herodotus, Plutarch, and Aristophanes. All were written by first-rate scholars who loved their subjects and understood how to introduce students to the delights of classical history. Alfred J. Church, Jacob Abbott, Mary Macgregor, and W. H. Weston are just a few of the exceptional authors who contributed to the Ancient Greece collection, and one would be hard pressed to find classical scholars of equal talent writing for children today.

Ancient Greece Curriculum CD: $24.99

Greek History appeals strongly to students of all ages. The stories of the Greek Gods and heroes are some of the most wonderful folktales ever told, and no civilization has ever matched the Greek flair for outlandish monsters. Greek mythology appeals appeal terrifically to grammar school age students, just as the romantic tales of the Persian War and Golden Age of Greece appeal to middle school students. Older students, who are already familiar with the basic stories of Greek history, are often mesmerized by the sophistication and wit of the classical Greek writers once they are mature enough to appreciate their contributions. This is a collection the whole family will enjoy.

Ancient Greece Study Guide

The Ancient Greece curriculum CD includes a PDF version of the Ancient Greece Study Guide, so customers who have purchased the curriculum CD do not need to purchase a Study Guide seperately. However, as a service to families that don't have access to a low cost color printer, Heritage History offers a pre-printed, ready-to-use Study Guide.

The pre-printed version of the Study Guide includes color maps and charts, timelines, recommended core reading for beginner, intermediate, and advanced readers, geography terms, outline maps, binder covers, historical era summaries, list of prominant characters, and accountability records. It is useful for memorization and review, and will help students understand the historical framework of the civilization which they are studying.

A downloadable version of the Ancient Greece Study Guide can also be purchased without the complete Curriculum CD. This is an appropriate option for families that would like to follow the Heritage Classical Curriculum study program, but perfer to purchase their books one-at-a-time, or read the text directly from the Heritage website.

Whether one buys a printed Study Guide, prints portions of it from the Curriculum CD, or buys a downloadable version, we recommend that all students who are using the Heritage Classical Curriculum keep a history notebook on hand for tracking progress and reviewing lessons. Even if most reading is done electronically, keeping a Study Guide on hand, with its instructive collection of reference material, is likely to reinforce a students understanding of the material he reads, and help him see the events he reads about in their historical perspective.
