If you're looking for a comprehensive and integrated approach to teaching world history that appeals to visual learners, this is it. Over the past thirty years I've developed a series of over 200 flowcharts covering world history from prehistory to the present day.

This package contains the entire set of my flowcharts and accompanying readings. The flowcharts are formatted as black and white PDF documents suitable for making student copies. Teachers or entire schools can use this as a supplementary text or as the primary text (which is how I use it) for their history courses.

This package also includes two other features:
1) Hyperflow, a Powerpoint that has all the flowcharts in color and hyper-linked to one another to help you give your students an immediate visual impression of how seemingly remote events in history connect to one another.

2) Your choice of 50 of my Powerpoint lectures. Contact me at cbutler@flowofhistory.com after you buy this product to let me know which lectures you want.

The color versions of the flowcharts along with a full table of contents and further discussion on their use in teaching history can be viewed on my website www.flowofhistory.com. Also, check out the testimonials page where you can see what former students and other teachers using the flowcharts for classes ranging from 7th grade to college level have to say about them.

Among my credentials are numerous local and national awards for teaching, notably the American Historical Association's Beveridge Family Teaching Award in 2001.This is the only award the AHA gives to history teachers below the college level.

Not that such things necessarily qualify me or anyone else to publish anything, but hopefully they are some indication that I am more than casually interested in history. My lifelong passion for history is only matched by growing fears of where we could be headed because we have lost so much historical perspective. Hopefully this will help slow the bleeding.

My individual lectures are also available here on TPT as Powerpoints that break down the flowcharts box by box and include lots of visuals to keep students engaged.
