Renaissance to World War II History
By Carla Earley

Hello, everyone, and welcome to 7th and 8th grade history! In this 36-week study, we’ll cover World History from the Renaissance to the early 20th century in the first semester and American History from the Roaring Twenties to Post-World War II in the second semester. I hope you’ll enjoy our adventure together!

To begin with, find a binder where you can keep all your history activites and assignments. You will be asked to read sections and take notes. You will also have assignments. You will be asked to read sections and take notes. You will also have assignments that ask you to do your own research. When you use the Internet, do so with your parents’ permission and supervision. As we go along, keep a timeline so you can see how different people and events related to each other in history. Also, if you see a person’s name or anything else in bold, it’s important to remember, so write down something you learn about the person, place, or happening in your notebook. It will be easy for you to go back and refresh your memory as to who or what is was and why it was important.

History = His Story! History is the story of God. His hand is all over it! He is totally in control of it. As we learn the history of the world and the history of the United States, look for how God is working in history. See how He makes everything work together. Notice how He raises up people for “such a time as this.” And remember, YOU are part of history, too. God will use you for His story, too!
