LauraBeth475 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I just picked up a copy of the Alpha text used, and it looks wonderful, except the timeline has hardly any dates. Are we supposed to research them ourselves each week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syllieann Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 The details are on the back of each timeline card. If you don't want to buy the cards, yes, you could research them yourself. Sometimes a specific date is given in the history memory work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraBeth475 Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 It looks like there is a whole paragraph on the back of the timeline cards. Is the student supposed to memorize that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syllieann Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 We don't memorize the back. I just read it would when I introduce the card. We align it with our history so they already have some context. We just memorize the cards in order. If I say any card, they should be able to tell what comes after it. I give them 2 consecutive cards and they list the 6-8 cards that comes after. For example, I say " Rome is founded: 753 BC, The Rise of Greece". And they continue, "Democracy in athens, prophets of Israel, Babylonian empire..." And I'll stop them when they get to Golden Age of Athens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
