7th - 8th World History
Teacher: Elisabeth Fiordelise (efiordelise@verizon.net or 804-502-6235)
Description: “Written with the goal of stirring the interest and imagination of the students who will read it, the World Studies (4th edition) student text provides a chronological narrative of world history that should reveal the hand of God at work in the nations, beginning with the birth of the Church, the rise of Islam, and a survey of nations around the world from 1,000 A.D. to the present.” ~ Bob Jones Press
This class involves a careful study of the text, reinforcement of that information through the student activities manual, completion of related maps, creation of a timeline, and the reading of associated, original documents.

World Studies Student Textbook, 4th edition
