Introduction to study guide

DIGITAL ANCIENT WORLD Study Guide 04-08 Ancient World an integrated set The Study Guide, Reader, and Lesson Overviews, used in conjunction with a number of other textbooks (see textbook list), form the core of the WCF study program. Ancient World is the first module, or course, of this comprehensive four-part curriculum. A set of similar books is available for each of the upcoming three modules in the program. Each book has a specific function: Study Guide: This basic volume contains the daily assignments and study questions for the Ancient World curriculum. Also included are charts, guidelines, and how-to’s on topics such as inductive study methods, writing term papers, referencing, and even ransacking a book. Hebrew Lessons: Hebrew language lessons are provided in a separate volume. This basic volume contains the Hebrew language lessons, practice quizzes, and answer keys for the first two modules. Reader: This collection of essays, articles, and lectures by various specialists supplements the reading assignments in the required course textbooks. Lesson Overviews: This volume contains Introductions and Reviews for each lesson. These are not formal lectures nor articles written for scholarly journals; rather, they were originally informal oral presentations to assist mentors in guiding students and to direct students in their studies. These overviews have been extensively edited since the original lectures were presented to take into account revised reading assignments. Both mentors and students receive a copy of this volume. A mentoring job description, mentoring guidelines, a mentor/student checklist, a rubric for the assessment of mentoring sessions, and an assessment key for mentoring sessions is provided in the front of this work.
