For the parent or teacher
Included with Pharos Terminal
Every lesson is included
Every lesson of Through the Fading Darkness is included with an active Pharos Terminal subscription, along with every other course.
A novel and the record
Every lesson pairs chapters of the novel with primary sources, then asks the same question in a new way: what in the story is real, what is invented, and how do we know?
Course introduction
Lord Dunmore’s War, 1774, in a novel and in the record. Your student reads or listens to the novel, then tests it against the record: letters, ledgers, laws, newspapers and memoirs. What in the story is real, what is invented, and how do we know?
18 lessons in seven units over 18 weeks, then a capstone. Grades 7–12, about 3–4 hours a week. Read or listen: the novel is on Amazon in print and Kindle, and on Audible.
Every lesson, the capstone and the course guide are included with Pharos Terminal.
