| Ancient India | 124–147 | 24 | |

Ancient Egypt (30 pages) is the longest topic, followed by The Dawn of Islam (27 pages), and Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome (26 pages each). The Mediterranean block (Egypt, Greece, Rome) takes 82 pages and the Asian block (China, India, the dawn of Islam) 71 pages.

A pattern that helps study
Every topic in this book follows the same recipe, so a student only has to learn it once:
- Snapshot. A one-page-or-two overview that sets the scene.
- Units on the main story, such as cities and kings, the pharaohs, Athens and Sparta, the Republic and the Empire, the dynasties of China, the Maurya kings, the rise of Islam.
- "Legacies and connections to ...". The last unit of every topic asks "why was this civilisation significant?" or shows what it left behind.
- Inquiry Tasks. Activities that ask the student to find evidence and give reasons.
Depth Study 1 also teaches how historians work: History is... (page 4) and Primary & Secondary Sources (page 6). Learn these two units first, since every other chapter depends on them.
A simple timeline for the book
The topics are arranged in an order that students can place on a rough timeline:
| Order in the book | Topic |
|---|---|
| 1 | Sumer, one of the first civilisations, with cities, wealth and kings |
| 2 | Ancient Egypt, the gifts of the Nile and the pharaohs |
| 3 | Ancient Greece, from Aegean civilisations to Athens, Sparta and the Persian Empire |
| 4 | Ancient Rome, from the Republic to the Empire |
| 5 | Ancient China, from the Shang to the Han dynasty |
| 6 | Ancient India, from the Indus Valley to the Mauryan kings and the Common Era |
| 7 | The Dawn of Islam, from pre-Islamic Arabia to the Rashidun Caliphate |
How to study history from this book
- Learn the sources units first (pages 4 to 9). Sources are how we know anything about the past.
- Make a map. Draw a simple world map and mark Sumer, Egypt, Greece, Rome, China, India and Arabia.
- Make one card per topic with three people, three places and three things the civilisation gave the world.
- Do the Inquiry Tasks at the end of every topic, not only before tests.
- Compare. Use the "Legacies" units to compare what each civilisation left behind.
For session 2027-28
With seven topics, about four to five weeks for each fits a school year. Your teacher will decide the order and which units to study in class. Lists can change from year to year, and we supply the newest edition we can get.
