Mystery of History

Mystery of History Volume 1: Week 1: Creation, Adam and Eve, Jubal and Tubal-Cain

See my main page for this course and the explanations of resources used.

We started by looking at our giant Adams Chronological Chart of History and talking about how the Bible is not separate from history. It IS History. I read lessons 1-3 with Genesis 1-5 aloud to everyone. The older kids took notes on their timeline pages, while the younger kids did the “information pages.” That was followed by the mapping and timeline activities outlined in the Mystery of History Companion Guide.

Copywork for these lessons:

Lesson 1: Creation

This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.  Genesis 2:4

Lesson 2: Adam and Eve

So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Genesis 1:27

Lesson 3: Jubal and Tubal Cain

Jubal and Tubal-Cain, who lived just 7 generations after Adam, are important because they help show us the intelligence of early man. (Linda Hobar)

You could also copy the poem by Rudyard Kipling, found here.

We completed all of the lessons in one week. As I mentioned on the main page for this Mystery of History study, my children are also doing in-depth apologetics and science courses on creation, so we did not add extra activities to the history lesson.

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.
