Review: Excellent for teaching older (and some younger) children : Extremely helpful resource for teaching my children history. Our children are 13, 12 and 8, and I used the discussion questions pretty much straight out of the book for the older two. For the younger one, I wrote fewer, more concrete questions (such as, "how old was [so and so] when he moved to [wherever]). Other than that, the most useful feature of the Guide was the list of extra readings and resources for each lesson. The one downside with this Guide, and true of the others as well, is the lack of scheduling help (how many lessons per week, how to group them, and so on). I found some great help on the Greenleaf Website. The editor, Rob Shearer, posts the scheduling of his own classes. Take a peak at his Ancient Civilization schedule yourself ....
