Description
FEATURES OF PERSIA – LIGHT AND DARKNESS – THE FARAVAHAR – ZARATHUSTRA’S STAR
ANCIENT PERSIA – 41 pages: Three weeks of lesson plans with mentoring comments, presentation notes, stories, source texts, bookwork and blackboard samples, background information for the teacher, the third Main Lesson Review and a letter of information to the parents.
Includes a free chapter of topic-related poems and text passages, with musical scores and footnotes.
The second Ancient History block looks at Persia’s geography, Zarathustra, and the Avesta which gives insight into the religion he initiated. Through legends, recitation, reading, writing and drawing, understanding grows of what is special about this epoch’s far-reaching contributions to the evolution of mankind. Alongside, a poem about Ancient Civilisations is rehearsed, and performed to the community at the termly festival.
This is just what I needed to plan a lesson on Ancient Persia. I feel it has beautifully captured the mood and understanding we wish to bring to children of class five.
