Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Syllabus and Note Book for Ancient History The fundamental problem of the student in history courses in the secondary school is how to study efficiently. The fundamental problem of every teacher of history in high schools is how to teach the student to study. One of the most favorable signs of the times in secondary education is the tendency to emphasize this phase, and to aid in its solution from the administrative standpoint by introducing various plans for supervised study. Unsupervised study is inefficient study. As to what form the supervision shall take, there is room for difference of opinion. Local conditions may make many ideal plans impossible under the circumstances. As to the need for supervising and controlling the study methods of the student, however, there is no room for difference of opinion. In the hope of assisting history teachers to solve this problem, this notebook has been prepared. It is the outcome of the authors own teaching experience, and the principles embodied in it have been successfully tested in practice. Six notebooks are planned in this series, some of them yet in preparation, each to furnish the basis for a semesters work. The plan of the course embodies the recent tendency to subordinate the Ancient and Mediaeval History and to greatly extend the time devoted to Modern and American History and Civics. The content of each semesters work is as follows: 1. Civilization and History of the Ancient World (to about 800 A.D.) 2. Civilization and Development of Mediaeval Europe (to about1648). 3.Modern European History to the close of the Napoleonic Wars, including American Colonial History. 4. The 19th Century in Europe. 5. American National History, 1783. 6.American Government and Civics. About 70 lessons are planned in each semesters work, each of which is intended to serve as the topic for one recitation. Each syllabus consists of an outline, and various other helps which are self-explanatory. The instructions on "How to Study" are the result of the authors experience with high school freshmen and sophomores during a supervised study period daily of 30 minutes. It is believed that the principles embodied in these instructions are sound, and that the students will find it helpful to follow them closely. The teacher should see that these methods are being used: The instructions are divided into the following sections: 1. How to study the textbook. 2. Reading in other books - source books and secondary works. 3. Notebook exercises - maps, themes, outlines. 4. Historical Fiction. 5. How we know about the past. The first section is an organized body of suggestions to the pupil for use in getting the content of the textbook, fixing it firmly in mind, and evaluating the importance of the different parts. The second section proceeds on the hypothesis that history teaching is only half done without intelligent use of sources other than the textbook, and that some training in the use of historical method can, and should, be practised from the earliest years of high school. The third section contains instructions to pupils how to go about doing notebook assignments Experience has shown the author that such detailed hints are necessary. The fourth section recognizes the the value and importance of reading good historical fiction, and includes a list of some novels adapted for the semester's reading. For the section on "How we know about the Past," the excuse is offered that a short and understandable account of the methods of historical research is needed in order that work with sources shall mean much to the student, and that such an account is not available elsewhere. It is the author's opinion that all these features are necessary to the best work in history. Local conditions may make some features impossible. In that case, the instructions o...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Syllabus of Roman History This Syllabus, which has arisen from the needs of my own classroom, is offered to the public in the hope that it may prove useful to students of college and university grade in other institutions. Its aim is not to convey information but to present a scheme for the organization of the facts and ideas essential to a good knowledge of Roman history, whether obtained by lectures or by reading. The books recommended fairly cover the topics; so that, even without lectures, a stu dent With the Syllabus and a few shelves of books may make himself substantially acquainted with the subject. For brief review I have preferred to recommend my own text - books because their plan and contents especially harmonize with the present outline. The most crying need of students of all grades is guidance in note-taking and in the preparation of papers - that is, in the art of studying. An attempt is made to meet this need in the directions given at the close of the outline. The careful following of every item of advice there offered will immeasurably heighten the prevalent standard of intellectual neatness of both college and university students. Any suggestions for the correction or improvement of the Syllabus will be gratefully received. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient History Syllabus: For Secondary Schools In 1916 the Committee on History in Schools of the American Historical Association requested the New England History Teachers' Association to prepare a "fuller definition of the requirements in Ancient History." A committee was appointed and this syllabus is the result of its work. This syllabus is intended to serve as a logical outline and guide for both student and teacher. It also serves to emphasize the main topics and furnishes a perspective of the entire course. It contains a series of topics, a brief analysis of the points involved in each of these topics, and, what is perhaps the most valuable feature of the syllabus, suggestions as to the teaching points to be kept in mind by the instructor. A brief bibliography for teachers and a selected list of books for students aim to bring the reader in touch with recent literature. Numerous references to source material and secondary works are included in the outline. These references represent the judgment of many teachers. Where possible the student should be supplied with a copy of the syllabus. If conditions are such that this is not feasible, the teacher may dictate such a portion of the syllabus as is necessary for the daily lesson. Too much importance cannot be attached to the study of geography. Nothing serves better to anchor history than an exact knowledge of the location of cities, battles, boundaries, etc. A study of physiography will be found of great assistance in understanding the forces which have molded history.

Download or read book Ancient History Classic Reprint written by Hutton Webster and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 770 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient History This Ancient History needs, I trust, no extended introduction. In its preparation due regard has been paid to the recommendations of the Committee of Seven and the Committee of Five, to the requirements of the College Entrance Examination Board, and to the opinions of prae ticed teachers in various parts of the country. The pedagogi appa ratus supplied may be used in a variety of ways. It is sufficient here to point out that the references preceding each chapter have been chosen with a view to their use by the pupil as subjects for reports and essays, that the studies following each chapter are based On the text and are intended to furnish material for stimulating discussions in the class room, and that the maps and illustrations form an integral part of the text for purposes of study and recitation. It has seemed wise, from both an educational and a historical standpoint, to treat the geography of the Mediterranean world as a unit (chapter iv), and to set forth in two final chapters, similarly unified, the private antiquities and art of the classical peoples. Teachers who prefer the traditional order may easily separate the sections dealing with Greece from those dealing with Rome, and treat them separately.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Ancient and Modern History IN bringing out an American edition of this wolk, the publisher were desirous 1 ct only to furnish a valuable work for general readers. But also to make it in point of size and price as well adapted to the wants of public instruction as they believed it to be in intrinsic merit In complying with their request to revise the work with this view, the present editor has made a few slight curtailments - principally in the first part of the volume of Ancient History - which could be made with out suppressing or in any way distorting or impairing any material fact or statement. In the English edition, all that is to be found relating to the history of the United States amounts to two or three pages, interspersed in the history of England. In the place of these meager notices, the present editor has appended to the volume of Modern History a distinct and special chapter, giving to the history of the United States its proportion ate place in general history, and to which 'it is certainly entitled in 1 vork designed for public instruction in this country.
