Ch 7: The Roman Empire and Cultural Legacies: Homeschool Curriculum

Who's it for?

This unit of our Middle School World History Homeschool Curriculum course will benefit any student who is trying to learn about the Roman Empire and its cultural legacies. There is no faster or easier way to learn about the Roman Empire. Among those who would benefit are:

• Students who require an efficient, self-paced course of study to learn how the Roman Empire was established, flourished and eventually destroyed.
• Homeschool parents looking to spend less time preparing lessons and more time teaching.
• Homeschool parents who need a history curriculum that appeals to multiple learning types (visual or auditory).
• Gifted students and students with learning differences.

How it works:

• Students watch a short, fun video lesson that covers a specific unit topic.
• Students and parents can refer to the video transcripts to reinforce learning.
• Short quizzes and a Roman Empire and Cultural Legacies unit exam confirm understanding or identify any topics that require review.
