I'm in the early stages of opening a homeschool hybrid school. We're trying to figure out 5-8 grade history. I would like it to follow classical principles. Do y'all have any suggestions?? Some things I've considered include:
1. Joint classrooms with the elementary grades; everyone uses SOTW but the middle schoolers do *more* with it all.
2. Basically follow SWB's suggestions, using the Kingfisher encyclopedia as a spine. The downside is that every student is doing individual work, and I worry that we won't be able to help them enough with things like finding additional books, outlining, and summarizing. My own child needed a lot of help when we started on that level!
3. Maybe something where they take turns teaching for the week?
Any suggestions??
