| The above reviews are
based on the content of "The Story of the World",
written by Susan Wise Bauer. This site,
these reviews, and their author are neither affiliated with nor endorsed by Susan Wise
Bauer or Peace Hill Press. Additional historical information, such as might be covered in The Usborne Book of World History, is not included in these reviews. For instance, Çatal Hüyük is not mentioned in the "Introduction & Chapter 1" review, though it is covered in Usborne. As another example, while recent discoveries imply that Egyptians may have invented writing slightly before the Sumerians, "The Story of the World" teaches that the Sumerians were first to invent writing, and therefore so do these reviews. Note: The "First Semester Final Review" was written before the other reviews. In developing the other reviews, I realized that some information was included in the Final Review which had come from our outside studies. (For instance, SOTW makes no reference to the Trojan Horse, a story that my child found delightful.) The Final Review therefore needs to be reworked. These reviews were originally written for my six-year-old boy, but the "speaking level" should be acceptable for older students. Due to the intended audience, however, the reviews tend to be "click a button" mix-n-match or multiple-choice questions, rather than fill-in-the-blank or short-answer questions. The reviews were constructed using the Hot Potatoes suite of tools produced by Half-Baked Software. Under the software's Terms of Use, the educational products produced must be made freely available on the Internet by the user of the software. All are welcome to use these reviews in their student's studies, but please do not download them onto your own computer for private use, as this would be a violation of Half-Baked Software's Terms of Use. Please use the report form to report any errors (spelling, grammatical, historical-factual, etc) or confusing points; the form may also be used for other feedback. While I cannot guarantee that all suggestions will be incorporated, I can guarantee that all suggestions will be appreciated. — Elizabeth Stapel |
