TundraAcademy Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I'm interested in adding more "notebooking" type pages to our Modern History schedule. This would be for a 2nd grader. I can't find any samples of this book by WP and was wondering what people thought of it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilly Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I have this for my 10 year olds. I find it extremely boring as do they (maybe they are too old for it?). I would say over half of it is just extra reading. There are a few pages where you read and then draw a picture. Then there are some more interesting pages. For example, there are three pages about the Wild West, and the pages have the students create a poster about the wonders of the west, a cover for a dime novel, and an announcement for a fur rendezvous. These pages are great, but overall I was very disappointed with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what they said on the site, I expected a lot more of the creative type pages, but it was mostly just extra reading and coloring.

crl Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Thank you for the replies. I was looking at the program because it did have this book. I think we'll skip the book and just do our own lapbooking and notebooking for American history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
