Mystie Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 We will start our first history cycle next year, but I would really prefer to do a three-year cycle. Anyone blended SOTW with the CC divisions? I'm not going to do CC, but I like their cycle outline. We're memorizing all 160 Veritas timeline cards this year ala CC, and I want to keep that up and keep history at an overview, big-picture level for elementary. Plus, I know more people IRL who never finished even one full four-year cycle, much less two, than I know people who did. So if I plan for 3 years and it takes 4, we'd still be doing alright. :) Ah, I love the planning time of year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi @ Mt Hope Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I think it would be difficult to match up SOTW and CC history cycles perfectly. Cycle 1 memory work covers some ancient history and then civilizations (ancient to more recent), cycle 2 covers world history from 800 to present, cycle 3 covers American history from 1492 to present. But you mentioned that you aren't doing CC. Does that mean that you aren't doing their memory work and are just thinking about a 3 year history cycle?

Mystie Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Right. I'm not doing their memory work (though I'm thinking about it; probably won't, though). I do like the way they divide up the years in the cycle. Plus, we wouldn't be doing activities from SOTW, either. We'd be using it as a read-aloud primarily.
