Welcome to our on-line teaching resources for World History from the Medieval Period to Modern Day! This list of resources focuses on the time from the reign of Charlemagne through the wars and conflicts of the 20th century.
I call this a link “buffet.” It is not intended that all of these resources be used. It is simply a convenient place to find information, videos, activities, and worksheets by history topic. As is all our lists of links, this page is a work in progress. If you come across broken or outdated links, or if you know of a resource you think should be added, please drop down to the comments to let us know!
After designing curriculum plans for nearly a decade, we developed a Christian Classical Curriculum that integrates the study of the world and the ongoing fulfillment of the Great Commission, with a focus on loving God, His Word, and fellow mankind. For a reading/curriculum plan that overlaps much of the memory work studied during Cycle 2 – with an integrated study of church history, world history/geography, science, and fine arts, check out our Mission: Faith Forgers Curriculum Plan.
Note: Although Mission: Faith Forgers is not directly correlated to the memory work, it includes a more complete study of astronomy, physical science, and history. The books selected for this reading plan were chosen as long-term resources for students to use when they embark on research and world geography memorization in grades 7+. This study has been designed to be used independently of Classical Conversations®. For families who use Classical Conversations®, the readings assigned in the Mission: Faith Forgers study overlaps much of the memory work studied during Cycle 2 but is not correlated week by week. This provides an opportunity for ongoing review and integration of the memory work throughout the year.
Note: Because of the enormous amount of time it takes for our family to research in compiling these link lists, we ask that you do not copy and paste the links in other documents, websites, or emails, but instead send people to this webpage. Thank you for your integrity in honoring this request!
(Note: For those who use Classical Conversations, this list of links correlates to Foundations Cycle 2 – both 4th and 5th editions.)
