INTRODUCTION TO BIBLIOPLAN’S

COOL HISTORY CLASSIC

For Elementary and Middle School Students, Grades 1 ‐ 6

This book contains one or two Cool History assignment pages for each of BiblioPlan’s 34 Weeks of study. Each page is divided into two sections: (1) Questions from the Readings and (2) Optional Bonus Question/Activity. Questions from the Readings: These questions are based on readings from Story of the World Volume 3: Early Modern Times. For easy reference, these questions’ topics follow the same order as the topics in Story of the World. All of the answers to the Questions from the Readings are available in the Medieval Cool History Classic Answer Key, which comes in one of two ways: 1. If you purchased this product as an eBook, then the answer key is attached at the end. 2. If you purchased this product as a hardcopy, then you should have received an email link to an eBook

version of the answer key. If you have trouble finding your eBook answer key, then please email [email protected].

Optional Bonus Question/Activity: The Optional Bonus Question/Activity provides a suggestion for a fun bit of extra work. It may be a bonus question that asks your student to do extra research on a question related to the week’s topics; or it may be instructions for a fun activity that goes with the week’s topics or the region under study.

May God richly bless you as you study and learn this year.
