Genesis Through Deuteronomy & Ancient Egypt

Study history, geography, and Bible together as a family!

This year of lesson plans features the accounts of Adam to Moses, including a study of Ancient Egypt and other civilizations of the time period, so students get a picture of the world in which the Bible events happened. Older students add more history and geography books, plus a fascinating study of the Law given at Mt. Sinai!

The Charlotte Mason-style lesson plans

• Make the ancient world come alive through living books and Bible readings.
• Help your students listen attentively and recall what was read by narrating.
• Let you teach the whole family together by sharing some books as family read-alouds, then challenging older students with additional reading and writing assignments from other books on the same topic.
• Help all your students, grades 1–12, see how Bible events fit into history.
• Connect geography to the people who lived there—both past and present.
• Keep things simple by providing helpful reminders of upcoming resources, teaching tips, and Book of Centuries entries.
