michaeljenn Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I would love your opinions on Biblioplan. I plan to use the 1850-2000 for my 14 and 11 year old. I will also have a 6yo listening in as well. I am wondering if this program flows well? Is it meaty enough for a 14yo? I thought I would have her outline the kingfisher as we went along as well. She really hates history, so I want to do whatever I can to get her excited again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIch elle Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 We used SOTW 3 w/ AG (maps & questions only) and tests along with KF and Biblioplan Cool History only. Next year for SOTW 4 we'll use SOTW 4 w/AG (maps, discussion, and outlines/writing) and tests along with Biblioplan parent enotes and KF. With the SOTW 4 AG outlines, I will not need BP Cool History questions because the AG writing/outlines will be enough but I DO like the look of the additional parent notes from BP. I don't need the BP schedule because I like to follow my own schedule as well choosing our own literature (CLE reading w/ LL&C 8). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura W. Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I really have enjoyed using Biblioplan this year and just ordered Year 3 for next year. I love the changes they made, including the high school level assignments with the main program instead of as a supplement. With the new Cool History pages and parent e-book, plus the high school literature assignments, I think it has plenty for an older child. The BP readers are excellent, but my children have not done them all. The K-2 readers are wonderful read-alouds. We've done most of them. My third grader has only done a few of the 3+ readers, and my 6th grader has done about half of the 5+ readers. Sometimes she ended up reading the reader after we had done that week's study - the topic caught her interest and got her reading. Other times she was interested in a topic we hadn't covered yet, and read that reader ahead of time. Some weeks, the 3+ readers were a better fit for her. She's really enjoying history (but she already did even before we started BP). Anyway, the 5+ readers are perfect for junior high and maybe even 9th grade, IMO. Blessings, Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
