This biblical guide to Egyptian history was written with the goal to have students see that God is involved in all of history, and to give them a well-laid foundation for more advanced history studies. Using a number of suggested primary texts as the starting point for this curriculum, lessons are organized with the suggested readings (with nicely added notes to alert parents to pages that approach material from an evolutionary perspective, along with ideas to counteract, or just skip, it), vocabulary lists, lists of people & places, a chapter outline, discussion questions, and ideas for related interdisciplinary study. Assignment charts, games, and other forms are interspersed throughout. 46 student-reproducible pages, softcover. Elementary grades.
