While you can supplement with additional reading and assignments for older students, you might want to use The Story of Civilization as the supplement alongside a more comprehensive resource for junior high. Because the courses try to cover such a wide age span, they are not comprehensive enough for seventh- and eighth-graders. Nevertheless, you can still include older children, probably those up through sixth grade with Volume I and up through eighth grade with Volumes II through IV. The idea is that you will cycle through the four volumes in chronological order over four years, possibly going through them in more depth a second time when your children are four years older. Thus, the activity book for that volume targets those younger grade levels. The publisher envisions that the audience for Volume I is most likely to be younger students who are just beginning the four-year sequence. The Story of Civilization series is written for use with students in grades one through eight. So when I heard that Campbell was to be the author and presenter for The Story of Civilization, I expected that the quality would be excellent. I was very impressed with both the content and his presentation. I first encountered his work when I reviewed a video history course that he created for Homeschool Connections. Phillip Campbell is the author of the texts and the presenter for the video lectures. Volume IV: The History of the United StatesĪs with Story of the World and other such series that use a storytelling approach to history for young students, the courses cover selected events and people.Volume III: The Making of the Modern World.This is similar in concept to Susan Wise Bauer’s The Story of the World, but The Story of Civilization is written primarily for a Catholic audience and has more thorough coverage of U.S. Each volume has a core book plus a number of ancillary items. The Story of Civilization is a four-volume series covering the entire span of both world and U.S.
