Learning Through History (Gr. 4-12)
Learning Through History presents world history for the curious student.
Ages 10+ (Middle School - High school)
Each 64-page bi-monthly issue has 15+ unique articles, arts and crafts project plans, hands-on activities, study guides for historical literature, discussion questions, web links and book and video suggestions - on one historical theme per issue. Every issue of Learning Through History has something for every student whether they are an avid reader and history buff or a reluctant student of history.
HISTORICAL TITLE THEMES
In each issue, we showcase a new historical theme, ranging from Ancient Egypt to Medieval Times to the Victorian Era to the Great Depression and beyond. All material in an issue relates to the title theme - tying history, literature, science and the arts together.
15+ ORIGINAL ARTICLES
Every other month, we feature more than 15 original, high-quality articles from writers around the world. One thing our writers have in common is a love of history and the ability to share that passion with others. Whether they are PhD's or armchair historians, they bring you the stories behind the story and the human-interest elements that help tie the lessons of yesterday to the realities of today.
COMPLETE LITERATURE STUDY GUIDES
Historical literature is a great way to learn more about the past. Each issue contains two full-length literature study guides, one for middle-school ages and one for high school students. We go beyond the typical "question and answer" format that bores students to tears and offer related activity and research suggestions as well as comprehensive writing assignments.
ARTS & CRAFTS PROJECTS
Fun and easy-to-make arts and crafts projects for everyone make it simple to bring history to life.
HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES
Numerous suggestions and ideas for hands-on activities abound in each issue. Our activities can be done with one student, just a few or an entire class.
DISCUSSION AND ESSAY QUESTIONS
Engaging questions that follow the articles can inspire an stimulating roundtable discussion or provide inspiration for a thought-provoking essay.
BOOK AND VIDEO SUGGESTIONS
Plenty of book and video suggestions are included with almost every article for a multitude of age groups to make it easy to expand learning of topics.
"BEST OF WEB" LINKS
There are good web sites out there with additional articles, activities and project plans you can use. However, in order to find most of them, you usually have to spend hours surfing through a lot of junk to find the gems. We do this for you, and only feature the "best of web" links in our magazine. You can then use your time to do other things besides track down history resources.
