beachnut Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Just came across this interesting website and thought I'd share: http://www.studentsfriend.com/index.html. It offers a free, concise, online/downloadable history & geography curriculum aimed at high schoolers, although you can easily adapt it for middle schoolers as well. It presents a chronological overview of the key concepts from pre-civilization to modern times. It includes lesson plans, quizzes, grading rubrics, teaching ideas, projects, etc. All for free! We're using Spielvogel's Western Civilization, which were enjoying, but I plan to use some of the resources on this website as a supplement. The site is actually meant to replace a high school textbook, so I guess you could use it as your primary curriculum. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Thanks, I've been poking around over there a little bit. They have some good templates and rubrics, even if you don't use the book. They also have a packed on how to do a research paper, which I haven't read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
