Cycle 2 History Form 4+

by

This is the independent reading schedule for students in form 4, which is grades 9 and 10.

Reading is only part of the learning process. Make sure your student is practicing the following:

  • Narration: sometimes spoken and sometimes written
  • Studying Maps: look at the locations mentioned in the history books and draw and label maps
  • Keeping a timeline, or, book of centuries

And last, students should be discussing these topics with others. This can be with other teens and a tutor in a community, or it can be with mom and/or dad at home.

Do not be tempted to waste time on quizzes, word finds, crossword puzzles with history vocabulary words or other work that might be deemed twaddle. Encourage your child to read these good books, keep a detailed timeline book, draw maps (as beautifully as she can), to write some narration passages about what she learned, and to discuss all of these things.

A Book of Discovery by M.B. Synge

This book is scheduled at a pace of three chapters per week from Week 1 through Week 25.

Alternatively, you may choose to read the chapters that line up with the memory work. In this case, there are readings scheduled for eleven out of twenty-eight weeks of the school year. 

You can download the pdfs at the STAR Store
