Learn History in All Seven Learning Styles

How the curriculum works

Every chapter of every book becomes a lesson, and every lesson has eight tabs. The order is deliberate: you read first, then meet the people, then see and hear it, then do something with your hands, then find out whether it stuck.

1. Overview — what the chapter covers, the themes to look for, and the words it introduces.
2. Music — the era's music video, second because nothing sticks like a song: hear it once and it carries through everything after it.
3. Subject Matter Expert — someone from the chapter tells it in the first person, from the Heroes & Villains series, with a written account of who they were. (The tab is labelled Expert, for room.)
4. Reading — more of the documented story beyond the chapter: what the letters, chronicles and excavations record, and the details that stick.
5. Lesson Video — every video for that chapter, in one place.
6. Activity — the hands-on project from the book, with its objective, materials, instructions and learning outcome, and a journal the student writes afterwards.
7. Extra — the same chapter free on the blog, for when the book is not to hand, and printable coloring pages to download.
8. Exam — eight questions drawn at random from a bank of sixteen, marked instantly with an explanation either way, plus one written answer a parent grades.
