Early Humans (Prehistory) Unit Study

 What happened before humans started writing down history? What did our ancestors do, what did they eat, and where did they live?

Learn all about early humans!

**This unit doesn't really cover evolution. There are a few mentions of evolution but I feel that would be better covered in a science unit study. I am working on an elementary aged evolution unit study but it is not ready yet.

You can download a free sample of the Ancient Egypt study to determine if this type of unit study is right for you!

What's included in the unit study:

• Literature suggestions
• Hands-on activities
• Timeline with Timeline cards
• Discussion questions
• Alternate ideas including vocabulary, videos, and games
• Overview of each Interesting events, people, etc

What do you use as a spine? 

My recommended spine is the Usborne Encyclopedia of World History. However, I also provide page references for Everything You Need to Ace World History in One Big Fat Notebook.

There are no required books but it is recommended to pick a book for each unit or section.

Is it secular?

Yes! My whole goal was to provide a history curriculum that did not come from a religiously biased point of view and did not rely on any texts with a religious bias. 

Religion will be covered as appropriate. I.E. We will discuss Egyptian gods and myths. They will be presented in a historically factual manner as appropriate for kids.

What age range is this meant for?

I have designed this to work with my kids, primarily my elementary age kids. However, I have also provided extra pages for middle school age kids to work on note-taking and writing skills.
