HIST History division HIST is the History division of the Sagadii
Curriculum. The main focus here is on where we have come from as human beings
because, as the saying goes, those who do not study history are doomed to
repeat it. There are 8 available classes for this division at this time. New
classes will be posted as they become available. HIST 100 Anno Mundi Timeline HIST 101 Biblical History 1 HIST 102 Biblical History 2 HIST 103 Biblical History 3 HIST 100 Anno Mundi
Timeline Required Materials: paper for timeline Prerequisite: This course is meant to be completed piece
by piece in conjunction with all other Biblical History classes. This is actually a very simple class, at
least in some respects. This class has no direct assignments. Get a piece of
paper roughly 35 feet long. This paper will be the base for the Anno Mundi
(anno meaning year of and mundi meaning earth, so together they mean Year
of the Earth). Anno Mundi is always used in Biblical timelines because it is
very specific in the dates from the beginning, and attempting to find exact
BC dates would lead to utter confusion. The scale for this timeline is as
follows: 1 year = 1/16 of an inch. The entire age of the earth is roughly
6000 years. You should have about 3 feet of paper extra which can be used for
notes, scales, or other things of importance. As you go through the other
history classes, attempt to place events on the timeline as appropriate. You
should start with the creation and end with our current year (or something
close to it turn of the millennium, genome project, etc. It seems
overwhelming, and it would be except that it is designed to be used with the
other history classes so that this project is really a summation of every
single history class offered here at the Sagadii. Required materials: Bible (KJV recommended, but not required) Prerequisite: ---None--- This history class covers Genesis chapters
1-11 (1:1-11:32 specifically). Assignments will consist primarily of reading
assignments (as well as AM timeline work stated
above, but that technically counts as a separate class). A short test will be
administered at the end of the class to test retention. It is suggested that
these readings are done with the teacher and student(s) so that discussion
can happen as is required by verse, which is better than the student waiting
to talk about it later and forgetting about it. Discussion is always
encouraged, as this works rather like a catalyst in cementing the information
in their minds because they have to actually think about it, and that engages
them far more than just reading it. It is also recommended that, even if you
are taking these classes by yourself, whenever you are able you should read
aloud. When you read silently, it engages you only once (seeing). If you read
aloud, it engages you 3 times (seeing to read, the mouth to speak it, and the
ears to hear it). This is not required, but is a suggestion. Required materials: Bible (KJV recommended, but not required) Prerequisite: HIST 101 Biblical History 1 This history class covers Genesis chapters
12-23 (12:1-23:20 specifically). Assignments will consist primarily of
reading assignments just like the HIST 101 class. All of these classes are
basically set up the same, just with different sets of reading and different
tests. Required materials: Bible (KJV recommended, but not required) Prerequisite: HIST 102 Biblical History 2 This history class covers Genesis chapters
24-31 (24:1-31:55 specifically). Assignments will consist primarily of
reading assignments just like the other Biblical History classes. All of
these classes are basically set up the same, just with different sets of
reading and different tests. |
