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.

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.
