Description
This brand-new teacher guide covers the mysterious and fascinating Ancient world, when humankind was making leaps and bounds as the written word was established, the wheel invented, and ziggurats and pyramids arose amid societies we usually think of as rudimentary.
Ninety-eight lessons will take your 5th-8th grader from the beginnings of civilization in Mesopotamia and Sumer, on to ancient Egypt, through the wanderings of the Jews and the splitting of the Israelites into the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, to the cradle of democracy, ancient Greece, and into the rising Roman Empire and the birth of Christianity. From the ziggurats of Babylon to the first Christian churches in England, follow the drama of the human story. Our teacher guide provides the structure you want and the flexibility you need to successfully teach this complex time period.
Each section is built around engaging and historically accurate literature. Hands-on activities add depth to the history while vocabulary lists, comprehension questions, research topics, and web links make this both an academically strong study and one that will engage your entire family in stimulating discussions.

Thankful that you included Story of the World as it’s an easy-to-understand chronological-story-form of history to read along with great literature!

Just what I was looking for to lead a history class for my co-op! I love that all the lesson plans are already laid out for me and that the literature based approach makes "homework" more like reading for a book club. I look forward to some great discussions and projects with my middle school co-op kids!

Sure! Here’s a polished and heartfelt review you can use for Beautiful Feet Books:
Beautiful Feet Books is absolutely our favorite curriculum.
We love it! All of my children are so engaged, and they are learning so much—including me! The stories spark meaningful conversations, and the gentle structure fits our family so well. We’re incredibly grateful for the work this team has poured into creating such a rich, comprehensive, and beautiful resource. It truly supports not only our learning but also the joy we share as a family on this homeschooling journey.

I was shocked by how much we loved this curriculum! Well, I should say.. shocked by how much this unit made me love ancient history! We've used BF for a few years now and their quality and engagement is unmatched! I guess I should have known better but coming from traditional schooling.. we never learned much about Ancient History. Gosh, this is why we love BF so much in our home!!! It makes history engaging and teaches so much more about history than is taught in standard textbooks and in SUCH a personal way. The material always sticks with both my son and myself. We were constantly looking forward to the stories and wondering what would happen next. Definitely recommend!!

Ancient History is our second year using Beautiful Feet Books for history and it encapsulated exactly what we loved from last year again. The books are beautiful and engaging, the curriculum is thorough and buildable which we love. We are excited to move on to Modern World History next year.
