Famous Men of Greece: Drawings from the Boston Public Library

Autor John H. Haaren, A. B. Poland Editat de Robert G. Shearer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 1992 – vârsta de la 8 până la 12 ani
The history of Greece is taught chronologically, as students read short biographical sketches outlining the lives of important figures.
The selections begin with the Greek creation and flood stories, then continue with legendary figures like Perseus, Hercules, and Jason. Then come the leaders of the Trojan War: Agamemnon, Achilles, & Odysseus. The lawgivers of the Greek cities (Lycurgus, Draco, & Solon) are profiled and the leaders who led the defense of Greece against the Persian invasion are covered (Miltiades, Leonidas, & Themistocles).
The second half of the book covers the Greek classical period (Pericles, Alcibiades, & Socrates) and finally, the age of Alexander the Great (Demosthenes, Aristotle, & Ptolemy).
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."
The text includes a new preface by Rob & Cyndy Shearer, as well as an essay for Christian parents titled, ""What to do about Mythology?""
Note: The Greenleaf Press edition is NOT identical to the 1904 edition, or to the editions reprinted by other publishers. It has been edited, updated, and supplemented with additional material.

Notă biografică

American educator and historian John Henry Haaren was born on August 13, 1855, in New York City, and passed away on September 23, 1916, in Brooklyn, New York. His mother was Irish and English, and his father was German. Before beginning his career as a teacher in New York, he studied under Prof. N. M. Butler at Columbia University from 1889 to 1891. He started classes to teach English to foreigners and increased the number and effectiveness of kindergartens when he was appointed Associate Superintendent of Schools in New York in 1907. He oversaw the Brooklyn Institute's pedagogy department as its president. In his honor, Manhattan's 10th Avenue between 58th and 59th Streets was given the name Haaren High School. On the grounds of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, the building that was once DeWitt Clinton High School and was designed by Charles B. J. Snyder is now called Haaren Hall.
