The triumphs of Aristotle, Ptolemy, Ulysses, Pericles, Alexander the Great, and many others will enable your students to understand why the scope of Greek accomplishment is still known today as “The Greek Miracle.”
This Famous Men of Greece Student Guide includes famous quotes, a drill of key people and places, 10 vocabulary words, 5-10 comprehension questions, and an activities section with mapwork, discussion questions, and research projects. The Appendix contains maps, a “Who Said That?” worksheet, a timeline, drill questions, and drawing pages. The first 11 lessons are a review of Greek mythology and are therefore not included on either the Final Exam or the Famous Men of Greece Flashcards.” – Memoria Press

Famous Men of Modern Times Set
Publisher/Author
Memoria Press
Other Information
Level: k-6
Description
“Modern history—history, that is, after the fall of Constantinople in 1453—can sometimes seem like a confusing jumble of unrelated events. As a result, many curricula needlessly avoid this exciting period of history. Memoria Press’ new Famous Men of Modern Times will bring the events of the last 500 years to life. These stories provide great insight into the foundations of the modern world. Balanced and well written, with many interesting details and beautiful color illustrations, the Famous Men of Modern Times is, perhaps, Haaran and Poland’s best work yet. It covers men from all over the world—from Lorenzo the Magnificent to Count von Bismarck.” – Memoria Press
