SA Homeschooler Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I'm in search of a curriculum/timeline that would integrate History, Science, Literature and Art. I'm not sure if anything like this even exists but I thought I'd ask the hive. For instance, what types of Literature and Art were being produced during WWI and what scientific discoveries influenced the period? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatholicSteph Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Connecting with History is the only one I know of that really does it. I think Sonlight tries to as well, but I don't know if science is incorporated. And it's not really incorporated into RC History either I guess.

EndOfOrdinary Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Lots of programs have various timeline cards. If you are willing to combine a few sets of cards, you get close to a comprehensive timeline. Unfortunately, most are just European/Western centered. As much as most of those cards are designed for younger kids, they are easily adaptable and really great to use as jumping off blurbs for different research opportunities.

Ohh I love the idea of making a set of cards that would cover Non Western history to blend in with the VP cards I have. Hmm We used to make baseball or Pokemon style cards for historical figures. Those were pretty fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momling Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I have my daughter read and draw and research on her own, not with a pre-made timeline. She uses a blank "History Portfolio". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilliums Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I have my daughter read and draw and research on her own, not with a pre-made timeline. She uses a blank "History Portfolio". I'd love to hear more about how you implement this. Does she use a 3 ring bind for her portfolio? Do you use any kind of spine to stay on track? I need to devise a history program for my niece for next year and something along these lines might be a good fit for her. Any elaboration would be appreciated.

Lori D. Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Not a curriculum, but a great resource to go with any History program, and one you could easily use in many ways in creating your own time cards or any number of other projects: The Timetables of History (Grun) runs from 5000BC to 2000AD, and has a horizontal layout showing what was going on in that timeframe side-by-side in seven different areas of human endeavor: 1. History/Politics 2. Theater/Literature 3. Religion/Philosophy/Thinking 4. Visual Arts 5. Music 6. Science/Tech/Growth 7. Daily Life 5000BC - 1000BC = 500 year chunks 1000BC - 500BC = 100 year chunks 500BC - 500AD = 50 year chunks 500AD - forward = year by year It also includes a detailed index, to search for specific people, places and names of events. The 3rd edition goes up through 1990; I believe the 4th edition goes up through 2005. NOTE: Timetables of History is a hefty telephone-book-sized resource, so it can easily overwhelm. ;) Looks like DK has published Smithsonian: Timelines of History, that has a lot of visuals, with a timeline running on each page, but more straight history-based without the individual categories of accomplishments separated out.
