I just had a look at the History curriculum from SCM and I don’t see any biographies incorporated into the lesson plans, or am I missing it?
When should I start incorporating biographies and during which lesson should I do it, according to the lesson plans History is done on Thursday & Friday but it doesn’t list biographies, so when and how often should I include these?
I cant say for sure what SCM’s reasoning was when choosing books. But in the first module you are reading the Bible which has a ton of biographies, and also Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt which is kind if a book of biographies. I dont know if you could find anything better for that time period.
We include simple biographies in the younger years for some of the later historical years. As already mentioned, a lot is read straight from the Scripture which include biographies. Beyond that, it is extremely difficult to find biographies written about people from the Ancient Era, that do not include much discussion of their religious beliefs and the various gods.
