Week Three  Egyptian Polytheism and the Judgment of God

Ra. Thoth. Anubis. Osiris. These are but a few of the idols of Egypt. Although its achievements surpassed anything the world had seen before, Egypt was built on a false foundation of polytheism. Learn about the religion of Egypt, how it affected everyday life, and see how the Israelite Exodus was perfectly tailored to topple Egypt's idols and show God's power and glory. Conclude your Egyptian tour the way you'll always come away from Tapestry of Grace - reminded of the majesty of the God who still weaves the tapestry we call HIStory.

Threads allow you to understand quickly what we suggest your student take away from this week's study. You can make decisions accordingly!

Reading Assignments are laid out so that a student can easily see what they should be reading - and the chart format makes it easy to separate crucial from extra!

Overview is yet another week-at-a-glance feature that makes learning just that much simpler for both teacher and student.

Writing is integrated directly into Tapestry, so you don't have to look elsewhere. It's all right here - and on subject matter that the student is already familiar with, each and every week!

Student Activity pages include questions and activities that enable your students to independently explore the material they're learning - but answers are found in the Teacher's Notes, so you never have to merely wonder whether they're getting it.

Pageant of Philosophy can be a treat for independent learners and students in a hurry! The dialogue format and gentle humor will keep many thoughtful students simultaneously entertained and educated.

Teacher's Notes enable you to have rich and meaningful discussions with even the most independent students with minimal preparation time. Read Teacher's Notes on a coffee break or keep them at the bedside, and you'll be well prepared to teach before you know it.

Supplement acts as a pure bonus for the family with limited time. There's never any pressure to peruse a supplement, but the material is often an extra tidbit that might make your studies that much richer.

Map Aids help your whole family with the "where" for all the who, what, and how of history studies!  Tapestry assigns all the geography work you need, and Map Aids puts all the maps in one place. Print off as many custom-drawn, learning-level specific outline maps as you need each week. Then, they can check their answers with the teacher's maps provided in Map Aids!

Writing Aids help both student and teacher tackle writing as outlined in Tapestry of Grace. Packed with teaching tips, student notes, examples, and grading systems to make teaching easier, Writing Aids makes writing with Tapestry go from great to incredible! Click here for an overview of all the genres that Writing Aids covers.

Lapbooks are great for your hands-on learner! Flaps, tabs, mini-books and so much more make a regular set of folders and paper burst with historical life. Available as instructions (for the student who learns best by making) and templates or pre-assembled (for the student who learns best by exploring), lap books are a delightful addition to your student's education.

Evaluations make focusing your student's studies easier than ever. Evaluations can be used to measure what your children have learned, to direct their focus, to teach them test-taking skills, or even as supplementary discussion notes!

Pop Quiz is Tapestry's way of bringing working dads into the fun of multi-level learning. Each week, the Pop Quiz audio CD provides a brief summary of your students' weekly topic, and provides age-appropriate questions so that Dad can be a part of your family's educational conversation! It's not just for dads, though. Pop Quiz is also a great tool for moms on the go!
