Like every Henty Study Guide, the one for By Right of Conquest contains lessons and exercises designed to check comprehension, build vocabulary, and develop writing skills. "Think It Over" questions require students to address moral and spiritual issues, and provide a starting point for those great discussions around the dinner table.
Each guide contains several fascinating and informative "background" articles that can serve as a springboard for further study.The versatility of the Henty Study Guides lets the teacher use them in a variety of ways. You can follow the Henty book chapter by chapter, making use of the comprehension questions and vocabulary words, requesting narration or papers as suggested in the guide, or just using what best suits your classroom needs. Designed for use by middle school students, many of the exercises can be adapted to younger children; older students may still find the vocabulary words challenging, and will certainly find much to ponder in the "Think It Over" sections.You don't need to be a "unit study person" to make use of this guide. It can easily be incorporated into a study of European history and/or literature—the author includes a list for older students of other fiction titles relating to this time period.The Henty Study Guides were written by Rick Medlin, a college professor and homeschooling father who first developed them for use with his son.
