Teaching History
Tome 2
In the History curriculum for seventh and eighth grades in a Waldorf school the focus is on the developing individual human biography and consciousness, from the Renaissance and Age of Discovery to the great upheavals and new inventions in modern times. At any given time there are both backward-looking and forward-looking elements. This book follows a timeline through the history of Europe and North America. References suggest ways to weave in similar material from other cultures. These can also be included in Geography and Literature studies if the History period allotment is too confining.
Included: Middle Ages, Renaissance-Art, Age of rationalism, 19th and 20th century.
114 pages.
