Mystery of History Volume 1: Week 27: Lessons 79-81 – Nehemiah, Pericles, and Peloponnesian War

See my main page for this course and the explanations of resources used. This post may contain affiliate links.

Lesson 79: Nehemiah

Since we’ve been reading Victory on the Walls, this lesson was a nice recap of the story of Nehemiah. It’s also a continuation of lesson 78 on Ezra.

Lesson 80: Pericles

After reading the MOH lesson, we watched a short section of Drive Thru History Ancients, Greece 2-2 about the Acropolis and Parthenon.

Lesson 80: Peloponnesian War

This is an exciting story of Ancient Greece that often seems lost to confusion about names and dates. We read the MOH lesson, and then watched this video on YouTube:

Chapters 64 adn 65 of The History of the Ancient World are perfect with this lesson.

For writing, we did Lesson 16: Spara in Ancient History Based Writing Lessons.

To finish up, we added these events to our timelines, did the mapwork in the Companion Guide, my 10 & 13 year olds added the corresponding sections to their labpooks (folder books), and everyone did the Week 27 review quiz.

Be sure to check out all the great book suggestions and activity ideas in the Mystery of History Companion Guide! Follow the entire course with us at the main Mystery of History Volume 1 page here.

I have two very different sons. One has been an extrovert since he could talk. The other has been an introvert for just as long. The thing about home education is that it doesn’t have to happen at home. What it really means is “not public school.” Not stuck in a classroom all day. Not confined to a government calendar. Not a slave to the system. 23 years ago I helped my aunt Kari start a homeschool co-op. At that time, I had one child and she was three years old. If you have a child that struggles to read, read to them. Read aloud every day. That’s the best advice I can give. New year. New house. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION: How do I homeschool with babies and toddlers in the mix?? Don’t let people tell you that “you can’t shelter your children.” Yes, you can. And you absolutely should. Mothers have a crucial role to play in society, although their job doesn’t always feel very “crucial.” Wiping baby faces, repeating instructions, settling squabbles, and making food is repetitive and doesn’t always seem important. For 2023, I’ll be preaching the same ol’ message that I can’t stop saying: “education is discipleship,” and “you can do it” homeschooling encouragement. Not gonna make the message easier to swallow when the world is attacking children on a grander scale every day. I’m also not going to tell you that homeschooling is a breeze, but I will keep saying that it’s worth every minute.
