The Bobby Soxer Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Help needed please... We have the book, test and activity guide. Why is it so hard to find all the online extras that are everywhere for Vol 1 & 2? I know they are not necessary but that is how my ds learns. Things like a list of corresponding movies, BBC Horrible Histories, lapbooks, or anything else would be greatly appreciated! Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwik Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 The Vile Victorians, plus some other horrible histories. Numerous books set in the American pioneer days, London during the blitz - BBC did a series recently called blitz street where the recreated a street during the blitz.

sagira Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Ds just received Woeful World War 2 (Horrible Histories) for his birthday. We're using Poppies in the Field for a scrapbook style of WW1 history. We're also watching Story of US, the sections on Civil War and the world wars (if any). I agree, it seems most people are excited about SOTW 1 and 2 and have created lists of resources to go with them. I have had to find mine myself. American Girl has some good movies on the period. I'm having ds10 watch these. When discussing the assassination of the Romanovs, we're watching the animated Anastasia, for instance. On the plus side, there are many pictures of these past events.

happyhomemaker Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Maybe not something a boy would like, but we had a tea party to round out our studies on Victorian England. We had scones and tea sandwiches and discussed the actions of the Empire in the Crimea and India, etc. in our best British accents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bobby Soxer Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Thanks everyone! Great ideas and book list. A tea party would be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 There are so many good movies and documentaries for this period and lots of historical fiction as well. I know I'm looking forward to War Horse and various others. I don't suppose anyone has done a list already? For movies or documentaries or historical fiction read alouds?

NittanyJen Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Hands of a child has great (secular) unit studies for history-- many can be purchased as lap book or notebook projects, and adapted for different ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
