Omnibus HISTORY VOLUME 1 HOMESCHOOL CURRICULUM

Omnibus HISTORY Mega Pack Volume I - Personal Use  

This item is for personal use only. You may use it for your own children as needed. If you are using the curriculum in a multiple-family co-op group or a school class, you will need to purchase the Classroom version of the curriculum.

What Age Group is this curriculum? 

This Omnibus curriculum is intended for elementary students: Grades: 3-6, but can be used for students as young as Kindergarten or as old as students in grade 7. If you have younger students, you can use them as a read-aloud, then selectively use the curriculum worksheets, quizzes, and tests. There are 35 weeks of lesson plans included in this Mega Pack!

What is  Omnibus?  

Omnibus is a Latin term meaning all-encompassing. Teaching History / Omnibus, {eg: Social Studies} to Elementary students is probably one of my favorite subjects to teach. Teaching Omnibus is the classical Christian educational approach by teaching history, theology, and literature together.  This curriculum utilizes the Mystery of History Volume 1 textbook. In order to utilize this curriculum, you will need to purchase the MOH Vol 1 textbook. 

• Mystery of History Volume I - Creation to the Resurrection: This volume covers world history from Creation to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The text spans the incredible stories of ancient times, ancient lands, and ancient peoples.

The curriculum is arranged by weeks. Each week is detailed by day and assignments are assigned Monday - Friday. MOH details a summary of events to introduce the time period; lessons progress chronologically with each week having two to three lessons, a quiz, review, memory, geography, and an exercise or project. There will be geography practice and quizzes as well as a timeline to complete and memorize. The book has 108 lessons and will take a full school year to complete if you follow a traditional 36-week school year. (This curriculum does not cover every single lesson)

The Lessons are partitioned by grade (Grade 3, Grade 4, and Grace 5 & 6) and reinforce the material read in the MOH lessons through fun worksheets, quizzes, tests, memory, activities, and projects that engage all learning styles. These projects and activities are based on the classical grammar/logic/rhetoric stages and are Christian based.

In order to teach Omnibus effectively, I suggest supplementals as well. I have a couple of globes in our classroom. I have various maps all over the classroom too. In addition, I recommend the following books in your homeschool library for this curriculum.

• The Mystery of History, Vol I by Linda Lacour Hobar

• The Student Bible Atlas by Tim Dowley

• Map Trek The Complete Collection by Terri Johnson

• Pages of History, Vol. I by Etter and Detweiler (needed for Grade 5)

The following are needed for Grade 6:

• Adam and His Kin, by Ruth Beechick

• God King, by Joanne Williamson

• The Boy’s and Girl’s Herodotus, by John S. White

• Plutarch’s Lives, edited by Arthur Hugh Clough

Students should keep one 3-ring binder to organize their map work, weekly worksheets, projects, tests, quizzes, timelines, and class notes. 

Homework Assignments: Homework assignments are broken down by the day of the week in the schedule. However, students may complete assignments according to their own schedule. For reading assignments, students may read the texts independently or they can be used as a read-aloud with a parent or sibling if that is more helpful.

• Memory Chant: Each day, students will recite the chronology of events studied to date.

• Mystery of History: Each week will include reading 2-3 lessons.

• Weekly Worksheets: Each week there will be a worksheet of questions to answer from Mystery of History and review questions.

• Quizzes: There will be a quiz every week covering the previous week's lessons.

• Timeline Binder: Students will create their own timeline card for each of the MOH topics covered with blank pages. Each page will have a blank template with lines for students to describe “Who, What, When, Where, and When” from the week’s lesson.

• Map work: There will be map work almost every week of the school year. Students will practice their map work online. Students also have printout maps throughout the year, these are optional.

• Tests: There will be 4 tests throughout the year. Only recently covered information will be covered on tests.

• Memory Work: Students will learn a memory chant for the chronology of events.
