How the book and the map work together

1. Read. Each chapter of the book covers one panel of the chart. Start at the beginning or jump to the period you are studying.
2. Look. Open the Zoom Map on a tablet or computer. Every panel has six numbered spots that match the “Where to look” sections in the book.
3. Talk. Finish with the Family Corner at the end of the chapter: questions, an activity and answers.

The ten panels

About 23 feet of history from 4004 B.C. to 1881, cut into the ten panels used in the book.
