The Student Book has 14 chapters divided into three types: Keys to History, Historical Eras, and Historical Themes. Chapters follow a consistent format: Big Idea, Vocabulary, Chapter Overview, Important Topic, Review, and Write About It. The simplified text is heavily illustrated and intended to be read to students who are nonreaders. Students are frequently presented with important social study tools, like timelines, maps, and tables.
The Instructor’s Guide presents a sequence of ninety-seven, 45-minute lessons by integrating the use of the Student Book, Reference Booklets, and video clips. The Guide provides PDFs on disc of all student materials plus chapter and unit assessments at two different levels.
The four laminated Reference Booklets provide a large format for students to study important timelines, maps, graphs, and tables.
The Lesson Plans Reference Guide gives an overview of all 97 of the World History lessons, including the lesson type, the objective, the student book pages covered, and the lesson content.
The World Historical Videos, provided on DVD and via online streaming, are short clips focusing on big topics like Making Stone Tools and the Rise of Agriculture.
