The Dragon and the Raven Study Guide

Downloads, history, homeschool, Homeschool Curriculum

I’m excited to offer my second study guide in the G.A. Henty series for The Dragon and the Raven!

It’s 870 A.D.

Vikings have invaded the English countryside, and although the English try to repulse these attacks, they are overrun by the savagery and sheer numbers of the Danish forces.

This exciting tale by G.A. Henty tells the story of the fictiDownload this free printable study guide for the Dragon and the Raven by G. A. Hentyonal hero Edmund as he serves the historic King Alfred. As the story opens we find the Saxon people deep in conflict with the Vikings, desperate to save their homes and families from senseless destruction. As Edmund witnesses the battles between Saxon and Viking, he observes their fighting styles, and eventually  puts that knowledge into use and created a uniquely trained group of soldiers. With Alfred’s blessing, Edmund commisions a new ship called the Dragon. Manning this ship with his special forces, Edmund joins the battle for freedom from Danish oppression. His adventures take him all throughout Europe and lead to glory, wealth, and eventually love.

Witness up close Viking battles, exciting adventures on the sea, capture by the enemy, and the siege of Paris alongside Edmund as he serves his country.

Learn about Alfred and why he is remembered as “the Great,” discover the lifestyles and customs of Saxons and Vikings, explore geography and vocabulary related to the story, and do hands-on activities to make learning come alive.

Sample pages include:

Copywork is a valuable language arts teacher. By simply copying the writings of other men and women, we are able to mimic correct spelling and punctuation, proper grammar usage and sentence structure, and gain a wider exposure to vocabulary in its context. Choosing meaningful text adds another layer of learning by seeing, reading, and writing words that matter. Copywork works well as a supplement to your favorite language arts curriculum, or as a stand-alone review of English mechanics. “Rather than society influencing the home, it ought to be the Christian home influencing society. Righteousness brings beauty of character. Character creates harmony in the home. Harmony in the home brings order to civilization, which makes peace on earth." (Karen Andreola) And Christians are called science-deniers. My son and six of his friends graduated from homeschooling today. There's always some discussion going around this time of year about whether you should finish a curriculum, or end the school year because you're ready. I'm going to give you my two cents and disagree with the popular refrain. Todays post for the #villagewellchats is about being patient when you can’t do all the self-sufficient things. 👈🏻 That’s me. I’m a homemaker at heart, love the land, the garden, and the DIY, homemade life. While you're choosing your curriculum for next year, keep my Knowledge Keepers series in mind! There are 11 books in the series now, and several include free study guides: I will be sharing homeschooling encouragement near Tulsa next Tuesday! Education is important. Discipleship is important. When you have to choose, choose discipleship first.
