Don't just read about history—experience it! Color a picture of a Minoan bull-jumper, make a model of the Nile River, create Roman armor and Celtic jewelry and more.

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A must-have companionThis is a must-have for going through the Story of the World series. My favorite part is the "continued reading" recommendations. I'd suggest not trying to do all the activities. We started out that way and it was taking forever. I do have her do the map exercises for every chapter and try to read at least one of the recommended books (often a fairy tale/myth/legend picture book about that time/culture). When she's very interested in a chapter, we'll spend more time and do a project ... Read More Rating: - Great Resource!!This book series is the perfect balance between a scripted, rigid history program and a completely unstructured approach to teaching history. I use it in a homeschooling history coop group with 6 girls, age 5-8. We have a great time. I use the study questions, we fill out the map, and then we do a craft. We enjoyed forming the Nile river with dirt and rocks, building an "ancient home" structure in the back yard, and creating hieroglyphics in clay. I like a lot of the books she recommends as supplements. ... Read More Rating: - CaptivatingWe have tried several hs history curricula and this is the first one that has captivated my children. I would highly recommend this! Rating: - Check for accuracyOverall, this is an excellent resource, but there are some inaccuracies. I still recommend it, just examine maps carefully. Ninevah is on the wrong side of the Tigris river on two maps. We aren't finished either, so it is possible there may be more errors. Rating: - Great homeschool resourceLove these books. Don't buy just the textbook and not the activity. Its worth it. Only thing that would be nice would be if the pages to copy were preforated for easy pullout. Otherwise, no complaints! |
