The contents (as printed)

How big is each chapter?

Ancient Egypt is the biggest chapter with 14 pages, followed by Greece and Rome with 12 each. The opening chapter, What is history, is only two pages, which is a quick start that teaches the idea of the past.

Why an activity book for ancient history

Ancient history is far away, and the best way to bring it close is to do something with it. An activity book asks a child to place events on a timeline, label a map of the Nile or the Indus, compare two pictures of an object from the past, write a diary of a child in Athens, or draw a family tree of an Egyptian pharaoh. The student book carries the story, and the activity book gives the practice. A class that uses both can match the chapters one to one.

The chapters in plain words

• What is history (page 05). What history is and how people find out about the past.
• First civilisation: Sumer (page 07). One of the earliest civilisations: cities, kings and early writing.
• Ancient Egypt (page 17). The land along the Nile, its pharaohs and its beliefs.
• Ancient Greece (page 31). City states such as Athens and Sparta, and Greek ideas of government.
• Ancient Rome (page 43). A small city that became a republic and then an empire.
• Ancient China (page 55). Dynasties, the first emperor and inventions.
• Ancient India (page 65). The Indus Valley and the later kingdoms of the subcontinent.
• The Dawn of Islam (page 74). Arabia before Islam and how the new faith began.

How to use the activity book

1. Do the activities in the same week as the student-book lesson. The memory is fresh.
2. Use a world map. For every chapter, find the place first.
3. Draw a timeline strip along the bottom of your notebook, and add each civilisation as you finish its chapter.
4. Write in sentences that start with a fact and end with a reason.
5. Do not rush the opening chapter. The two pages of "What is history" teach how to think like a historian.

Four questions to ask at the end of each chapter

These work for any history activity book and help a child see what the activities are for:

• Where? Can I find the place on a map, and name the river or sea near it?
• When? Where does it go on my timeline, and which other civilisation was alive at the same time?
• Who? Who was in charge, and how did ordinary people live?
• Why does it matter? What did this civilisation leave behind that we still use or see today?

Parents do not need to know the answers. Asking the question and listening to the reply is enough.
