Teaching History Volume 1: Ancient Civilizations: Greece and Rome by Roy Wilkinson

The History curriculum for fifth and sixth grades in a Waldorf school  follows the thread of development of cultures through Ancient India,  Persia, Egypt and Chaldea, Greece, and Rome. This provides a picture of  the changing human consciousness from ancient clairvoyance to the loss  of spiritual vision and, with it, the awakening of independent ego  awareness and materialism. The teacher is guided to a deeper  understanding of the spiritual significance of mythologies and great  epics, and shows how the ancient world points the way to the future. ISBN:       9780945803447
