Famous men of Greece Guide
by Poland & Haaren, edited and updated by Rob and Cyndy Shearer The history of Greece is taught chronologically as students read short biographical sketches outlining the lives of important figures. Your fourth or fifth graders should be able to enjoy it independently, older students can read it as well and not feel like they have been given something that is “babyish.” Our kindergartner loved listening to us read it to her older brother.. 
Famous men of Greece By Cyndy Shearer Paperback Provides reading assignments, vocabulary lists, discussion questions,
practical "hands-on" activities, and suggested books for further reading
on Greece. The discussion questions are carefully crafted to focus on important
issues and encourage your children to evaluate the lives of famous men
against biblical standards.

Greenleaf Guide to Ancient Egypt
by Cyndy Shearer Ever wonder how Biblical history and Ancient Egypt fit together? Why was God so angry with Pharaoh, anyway? These were questions we asked when we began our study of Ancient Egypt. We wanted to start our study of western history by beginning at the beginning. After reading through the Old Testament (which is history, after all) we study ancient Egypt. This study guide presents ten lesson plans using the six books listed below. Included are possible vocabulary lists and discussion questions that can be drawn from the reading. Also includes directions for playing a checkers like game found in Tut’s tomb, directions for building a model shaduf (irrigate like the Egyptians!), as well as suggestions for how to adapt your study to fit grades 2-7. Home school tested. Excellent for Konos or Unit studies. Average duration is about 15 weeks.

Famous men of Middle Ages Guide
by Rob and Cyndy Shearer Like the other Greenleaf Guides, the Guide to the Middle Ages sets the study of each of the key figures in a Biblical context. Discussion questions prompt the students to reflect on how the various figures match up to God’s standards of justice or righteousness. Suggested supplementary readings are found in The Cultural Atlas of the Middle Ages (especially good for its maps), and David Macaulay’s two Caldecott winners, Cathedral and Castle.
Famous men of Middle Ages by Poland and Haaren, edited and updated by Rob and Cyndy Shearer This is the third book in the Famous Men series. The stories begin with the tales of the Germanic chiefs who defeated the Romans, Alaric, Genseric, and Theodoric. Then there are the stories of the famous kings of the Franks, Clovis, Charles Martel, and Charlemagne. Attention is also paid to non-European leaders like Justinian, Mohammed, Harun-Al-Rashid, and El Cid. The second half of the book includes chapters on William the Conqueror, Frederick Barbarossa, Tamerlane, Marco Polo, and Joan of Arc (an honorary Famous Man). The stories of many of these figures can not be found for children anywhere else. Do not just show them pictures of castles, let them read the stories of those who built them and lived in them.

Famous men of Rome Guide
By Cyndy Shearer Paperback Provides reading assignments, vocabulary lists, discussion questions, practical "hands-on" activities, and suggested books for further reading on Rome. The discussion questions are crafted to focus on important issues and encourage your children to evaluate the lives of famous men against biblical standards.
Famous men of Rome By John Haaren / A.B. Poland / Rob & Cyndy Shearer Paperback Originally an elementary school reader published in 1904, the text has been edited and updated by Rob and Cyndy Shearer. It contains approximately thirty chapters, with each chapter being a short biography (in chronological order) of a single important figure from ancient Rome. Written on a 5th grade reading level, it works well for a read-aloud to younger children, but is content rich enough to interest junior highers.
