About Year 4
Tapestry Year 4 covers the
history of the world during the Twentieth Century and into the present.
If your students have used Tapestry in past school years, they will at
last see how the events and ideas they have studied over three years result in
the world they live in now.
Your children will see how the "isms" of the
Nineteenth Century bore bitter fruit. We will study the two World Wars,
the rise of Communism, the Cold War, and a generation's search for the meaning
of life apart from God. We will see how the rise of technology tempts
mankind to believe what the ancients did: that Man is God. Unit 4 contains
an in-depth study of modern Middle East history, and a look at the future
through the prism of the book of Revelation.
Tapestry of Grace is the
award-winning homeschool curriculum that uses the history of
the world to guide your whole family through an amazing
humanities education. New to
