The Third Great Lesson: Coming of Human Beings


The next Great Lesson is the Coming of Human Beings. This lesson involves a timeline with a tool and a human hand to talk about the three gifts that make humans special: a mind to imagine, a hand to do work, and a heart that can love. This lesson will lead children to study the beginning of civilizations and the needs of early humans.
This lesson leads to the study of:
  • History: timelines, prehistory, ancient civilizations, world history, history of specific countries and continents
  •  Culture: art, artists, music, composers, dance, drama, architecture, design, philosophy, religion, grace and courtesy
  • Social Studies: current events, government, economics, commerce, volunteering & charity
  •  Discovery & Invention: scientists, inventors, scientific method, inventions, simple machines
