Distinctive Features of Connecting with History:
1. history is presented from a specifically Catholic world view
2. history is taught in chronological order and repeated in cycles
3. families learn together
4. history is not taught as an isolated subject - religion, literature,
geography, arts and sciences all have historical components
5. children are actively involved in the learning process
