Old lesson plans for history/geography/Bible SCM

I’m not sure which study you have the older version of, Amy. One of the main reasons we revised the first three history studies is because a main recommended book went out of print, Oxford First Ancient History. If you have that book, you could easily use the original plans.

The revised plans replaced that out-of-print book (with Ancient Egypt and Her Neighbors in the Genesis through Deuteronomy & Ancient Egypt study; with The Story of the Greeks or Romans from Nothing New Press in the other two studies), added The Stuff They Left Behind pictures, added or swapped some new books that we discovered, and simplified the geography plans to use the Visits To . . . notebooks instead of putting those together yourself.

In the Matthew through Acts & Ancient Rome study the main difference will be book choices.

• Switched to Story of the Romans from Nothing New Press
• Changed the grades 1-3 books
• Added some Early Church biographies (using Peril and Peace)
• Added a fabulous biography of Paul for grades 10-12 (The Apostle)
• Then, as mentioned above, changed the do-it-yourself geography studies and book recommendations to the ones given in Visits to Europe and added the pictures in The Stuff They Left Behind

I like the changes we made, but the older version is still a solid study of that time period.
