Famous Men of Modern Times (Teacher Guide)
Category: History
Author: Tanya Charlton
Copyright/published Year: 2008 by Memoria Press
ISBN: 1930953623
Binding: Paperback
Modern history-history, that is, after the fall of Constantinople
in 1453-can sometimes seems like a confusing jumble of unrelated
events. As a result, many curricula needlessly avoid this
exciting period of history. Memoria Press' new Famous Men of
Modern Times will bring the events of the last 500 years to life.
These stories provide great insight into the foundations of the
modern world. Balanced and well written with many interesting
details and beautiful color illustrations, the Famous Men of
Modern Times is, perhaps, Haaran and Poland's best work yet.
Why study history through its famous men? Haaren or and Poland
answer in their preface:"The study of history, like the study of
a landscape, should begin with the most conspicuous features. Not
until these have been fixed in memory will the lesser features
fall into their appropriate places and assume their right
proportions. In order to attract and hold the child's attention,
each conspicuous feature of history presented to him should have
an individual for its center. The child sees himself as this
individual. It is not Romulus or Hercules or Caesar or Alexander
that the child has in mind when he reads, but himself, acting
under the prescribed conditions. Prominent educators,
appreciating these truths, have long recognized the value of
biography as a preparation for the study of history and have
given it an important place in their scheme of studies."
Famous Men of Modern Times Teacher and Student
Guides
We now offer a year-long workbook course that comprehensively
covers the Famous Men of Modern Times. Each of the thirty
workbook lessons includes famous quotes, a drill of key people
and places, ten vocabulary words, 5-10 comprehension questions
per lesson, and an activities section that includes map work,
timelines, discussion questions, and art projects. The program
also comes with plenty of supplemental exercises, including maps,
a "Who Said That?" worksheet, and drawing pages.
Our FMMT Teacher Guide is a replica of the student guide with
overlaid answers, so you don't have to fumble between an answer
key and a separate student book.
