History with Mrs. Duvall 2026-2027. The Story of the World books have been used in classical education for years. Each chapter focuses on a particular period of history in a narrative-type style. There are four volumes in total and they begin with ancient civilizations, all the way up to the modern age. We will continue our study of ancient civilizations in this course. During the Thursday class we will focus primarily on the narratives from a particular chapter. On Tuesdays the course will dive into the activity book and include hands on projects from history.
