Sotw 1 Final

A lapbook, complied and created by Alia Macrina Heise
for Story of the World, Volume One, by Susan Wise Bauer

Directions:
x A video walk-‐through of the lapbook can be seen at this link, on my blog.

x To increase the durability and colorfulness of the lapbook, you can print out the elements on cardstock, and use
solid colored file folders for your lapbook.

x You will need a total of 5 file folders for the lapbook.

x When necessary you can do some of the writing for young children, reading it aloud before and after you write it
for them.

x Some chapters have a footer, to help distinguish them from each other. But not ever chapter had room for a
footer, so the labeling is inconsistent.

x Your elements are not likely to fit in the lapbook in order, instead place them in a manner that is space efficient
and when your lapbook is complete it will be like a hid-‐and-‐seek game to find the elements in order!

x I recommend using colored card stock (for a touch of colorfulness!) for chapters (This is 20 sheets of colored in
all)

x Because of photos I recommend using white card stock for all the other pages, a total of 63 sheets of white
including the cover and directions.)

x But, because of the thickest of the elements you may want to use regular paper for chapters 1, 9 and 14. I did
not, so if you do not mind the looks of the one on the blog, then use cardstock.

The Twelve Olympians, in Greek mythology, were the principal gods of the Greek pantheon, residing atop Mount Olympus. There were, at various times, fourteen
different gods recognized as Olympians, though never more than twelve at one time. Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Ares, Hermes, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Athena, Apollo,
and Artemis are always considered Olympians. Hestia, Demeter, Dionysus, and Hades are the variable gods among the Twelve. Hestia gave up her position as an
Olympian to Dionysus in order to live among mankind (eventually she was assigned the role of tending the fire on Mount Olympus). Persephone spent six months of
the year in the underworld (causing winter), and was allowed to return to Mount Olympus for the other six months in order to be with her mother, Demeter. And,
although Hades was always one of the principal Greek gods, his home in the underworld of the dead made his connection to the Olympians more tenuous. The
Olympians gained their supremacy in the world of gods after Zeus led his siblings to victory in war with the Titans; Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Hestia, and Hades
were siblings; all other Olympians (with the exception of foam-‐born Aphrodite) are usually considered the children of Zeus by various mothers, except for Athena,
who in some versions of the myth was born of Zeus alone. Additionally, some versions of the myth state that Hephaestus was born of Hera alone as Hera's revenge
for Zeus' solo birth of Athena.

Legend says ... The Hanging Gardens
of Babylon were built by King
Nebuchadnezzar so that the queen,

his wife, would have a lovely,
private, terraced garden to enjoy.
The gardens were rumored to be

about 400 feet wide, 400 feet long,
and over 80 feet high. Some
historians believe the gardens were
built in a series of platforms that all
together were 320 feet high. There
were paths and steps and fountains
and gorgeous flowers, all build to
make a homesick queen feel
welcomed and loved.
It was supposedly built around 600

BCE, along the bank of the
Euphrates River (south of the
modern day city of Baghdad, Iraq.)
No one knows if the gardens

the only ancient wonder still
standing. Until the early
1800's, the Great Pyramid at
Giza was the tallest building
in the world!
The Great pyramid is nearly

800 feet long, 450 feet high,
and built with over two
million of blocks of stone.
The average weight of each
stone is about 2,500 pounds
-‐ around the same weight as
a car!

the large book into your lapbook. Title the outside of each small book by hand according to the name of the ancient
wonder. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, The Great Pyramid of Giza and The Lighthouse of Pharos.
The Lighthouse was built on the Island

of Pharos in the harbor of Alexandria, Alexander the
Egypt. It was build around 290 BCE. It
was a working lighthouse that helped
ships find their way safely into
Great
harbor. It was also a tourist
attraction. Chapter 25
Visitors could buy food at the
observation platform on the first
level. Anyone who wished to do could
climb nearly to the top. There were
not many places in the ancient world
that visitors could climb a man-‐made
structure, 300 feet up, to view the
sea.

The Lighthouse stood for over 1500
years. Scientists believe an
earthquake topped the Lighthouse
during the 1300's. Divers today search
for remains at the bottom of the
Mediterranean Sea.

The early people in North America ate seals, polar bears,
birds, caribou, mosses, lichens and whales when it was too
cold to grow crops.
The Olmec lived in Mesoamerica. They built a dirt pyramid

in the middle of their city and sculpted giant heads of their
rulers.
The Nazca lived in South America. Archeologists don͛t know

how they made their giant drawings but they guess they
used math, or the position of the stars.
