* Early Modern Level two is a comprehensive course that is appropriate for both middle school and high school students with little modification. For high school students we recommend adding daily lesson summaries and one oral report of the student’s choosing. We also recommend reading unabridged, original version of  Oliver Twist. From  the Stuart Dynasty to Lewis and Clark, Early Modern level two  is a complete one-year curriculum guide that combines history  with literature, world geography, and writing activities.  Students  study events from early modern history, a time of nationalism and revolution: scientific, agricultural, industrial, French, and American. It was also a time of civil war and rebellion: English, Spanish, Scottish, Russian, and American. And it was a time of advancement and expansion: the Age of Reason, Galileo, Lewis and Clark, East India Trading Company, Mercantilism, and the Enlightenment. This comprehensive course covers success and failures of civilizations in Early Modern history from all parts of the world.

Early Modern  level two  is a student guide that provides step by step lessons to teach world history from 1600 to 1850. Level 2 History Odyssey guides are written to be used independently by students with the parent/teacher assisting when necessary with lessons and assessing  the student’s  completed work. Early Modern  level two does not require an answer key  due to the subjectivity of the assignments that encourage critical thinking (i.e. there  is rarely any one correct answer).  Answer keys to map work are found in the main spine (The  Kingfisher History Encyclopedia). A rubric is provided to assist in grading essay writing.

Literature and writing  instructions and assignments found in the course  include advanced  outlining of history readings, attribution of sources, How to Write a Biography, How to Write an Essay, persuasive writing, creating a storyboard, literary analysis, creating a character web, and identifying elements of an epic.

Critical thinking with history studies found in this course  include identifying connections and cause/effect relationships; evaluating the validity and type  of history sources; timeline analysis; detailed examination  of revolutions, wars, and conflicts; and identifying connections between geography and history through extensive map work.
