Nakia Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I know there are a ton of us who are planning to use K12 HO volume 1 next year. My 7th grader will be doing it (with my middle using SOTW along with older sis). I thought it might be nice to start a thread where we can share reading lists, supplements, and just generally bounce ideas off one another. I had only planned to do Ancients until I set my sights on K12, so I don't have anything planned for Middle Ages yet.  I have a set of Map Trek maps I got for free a few months ago that I will use for Ancients. We'll see how that goes. We've never really done official mapping. I think Anna will probably make her timeline and timeline figures.  Here's a reading and supplement list (not necessarily in order, lol). This will change as needed and Anna will pick and choose what she wants to use, for the most part. We will NOT use all of these. This covers parts 1-3 (part 4 isn't totally planned yet):  Gilgamesh the Hero Cultural Atlas of Ancient Civilizations Cleopatra, Daughter of the Nile The Golden Goblet Pyramid Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt Tales from India Takes from China Hittite Warrior God King Children's Homer Growing Up in Ancient Greece Famous Men of Greece Growing Up in Ancient China Plutarch's Lives for Boys and Girls D'Aulaire's Greek Myths Aesop's Fables Aeneid for Boys and Girls Bronze Bow Archimedes and the Door of Science Augustus Caesar's World Famous Men of Rome City Eagle of the Ninth The Silver Branch Lantern Bearers Peril and Peace Bulfinch's Mythology: Age of Fables   Anyone else want to share? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allearia Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 We will be doing the same - HO1 with SOTW 1 for the younger. Not much to add at this point. We do have the Map Trek Ancients we will be trying, and some of Mapping the World through Art will go with it as well.  There is a link that has been posted a few times correlating it with SOTW in case someone hasn't seen it:  http://www.scribd.com/filfilksq/d/60373372-SOTW-and-Human-Odyssey  We also have the student and teacher pages, and I am trying to decide how much we will use them.

momto2Cs Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I'm debating still on using it this year or next - I do have some supplemental lit in mind if we go ahead with it, see post #2 here. My kids will be 6th and 4th grade roughly, so I am trying to decide if we should wait until they're 7th and 5th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaKinVA Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I'm planning on using it, but thinking about doing it as the on-line, self-paced course. TWTM just doesn't work overall for this child, so I'm a bit skittish of attempting it again and falling flat on our face. I at least am familiar with K12, so that I don't get bogged down in stuff. Our supplemental reading list for next year looks more like this: Â Codes of Hammurabi; Landmark Herodotus; Plutarch, vol. 1; Gilgamesh, Aeneid; Julius Caesar; Early History of Rome; Last Days of Socrates; and 12 Caesars. The Ancient Greek World, The Ancient Roman World. He has already read a TON of historical fiction in this time-frame... we will probably just read some selections of the above, vs. the entire books. He is very much a math/science kid, and is doubling up on maths over the next couple of years (at his request)...so I'm "downgrading" his less favorite areas a bit from the intensity I had planned.

TCB Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I'm going to be using Vol 2 not 1, so I hope you don't mind me butting in. I'm going to use SOTW 3 with dd8 and HO2 with dd12. I've been thinking about getting the Creek Edge history cards to use with both of them. I was wondering if anyone had used the history task cards before and if you thought I could use them in this way. This would take care of a lot of the writing/project parts for history without having to come up with too many ideas myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anna~ Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) I am waiting on my copy to arrive. I will be using it loosely with the Oxford series The World in Ancient Times because my library has most of those volumes. As for other books, this is what I have now for ancient through middle ages: Â Streams of Civilization Volume 1 The Trojan War The Golden Goblet Mara, Daughter of the Nile The Bronze Bow Eagle of the Ninth The Silver Branch Hittite Warrior Beyond the Desert Gate The Ides of April Catherine, Called Birdy The Shakespeare Stealer The Second Mrs. Giaconda A Single Shard Adam of the Road Mary, Bloody Mary Otto of the Silver Hand The Children's Homer Pyramid City Cathedral Castle Ship These are all ones I have gotten used at sales. I will be using some others but I will get most of them from the library. There are a few more I need to buy because my library doesn't have everything I want to use. I also will buy Augustus Caesar's World and D'Aulaires' Greek Myths. I have the set of outline maps from the Scholastic Dollar Sale, but other than that I am not sure what I am going to use for maps. I do plan on splurging and get the Homeschool in the Woods Timeline Figures CD and the book to put them in, since DD said she prefers to have it in a book that she can keep. Â I am excited to get started, but we probably won't until toward the end of August. We are just starting out, and I need to get my DD caught up on some other things before we start.

Hannah Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 My 12yo is using K12 Human Odyssey 1 together with the The World in Ancient Times series by Oxford University Press. Â Luckymama put together this schedule and resource list./ Â Some chapters she outlines and for others we use the questions in the K12 student books. Â We live out of town, so have at an hour in the car every day. I've found audiobooks for many of the WTM and other recommended books, so we listen to those in the car.

EKS Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 If I were to do a full course using HO, here is what I would do:  Supplemental reading: period literature (usually adapted for this age), historical fiction, some nonfiction Mapwork: Mapping the World with Art Timeline: History Odyssey timeline Writing: Every few weeks, a report on a historical topic of interest  But since my 10yo will be in school next year, I'll have to settle for afterschooling with just the text and some supplemental reading :crying:.

Kate in Arabia Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 There is a link that has been posted a few times correlating it with SOTW in case someone hasn't seen it: Â This is mine. I'm currently working on coordinating SOTW 2 to Human Odyssey. Someone asked me along the way why I didn't have all of HO 1 in my SOTW 1 spreadsheet; the topics in SOTW 1 only go partway through HO 1.. so next year ds2 will have some readings in HO 1 and some in HO 2. SOTW 2 ends right at Queen Eliz, and this corresponds to about halfway through HO 2. He'll be listening along with his younger sister to SOTW 2 and using HO as his supplemental reading.

Trez Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I used K12 HO1 along with Ancients HO last year with my son in Gr5.

So now I am searching for an alternative way to use K12HO for next year. We have completed up to the Greeks and would be continuing from there.

Allearia Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I have some quiet time and am working on this today, so I thought I'd post. I decided to switch SOTW around to match HO, and I love it! The first time through SOTW we went in order, and it seemed like there was never time to do the readings and projects about a specific place, because there were 42 sets of reading lists and project options. This way there are just a few. So we can do some outside reading about Sumer, a project, and we have several weeks to do that and not feel rushed. Then Egypt, then the East, Greece, Rome. Although I love the order SOTW is in, I think the organization this time around will save my sanity:lol: Â I plan to correlate some map work from Map Trek, some work from the teacher and student books for HO, web sites, timelines, biographies, projects. I am also using some of the free schedules and lit sugestions from Classical House of Learning, worth a look if you havent seen them, they have grammar and logic stage literature schedules correlated with SOTW. I want to make it more fun centered and less academic intensive, just because for us we are doing some pretty heavy academics in other subjects and I don't want to overwhelm them.

Hannah Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Any favorite audiobooks?? Â My girl's favourite for Greek myths is Atticus the Storyteller. There are two volumes and they have listened to them over and over. The reader, Simon Russel Beale, is English. Â They also enjoyed Mary Pope Osborne's Tales from the Odyssey performed by James Simmons. Â The Heroes Series by Geraldine McCaughrean are good too. Â Other families really like Jim Weiss, but my kids are not fans. Â My 12yo says to mention the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan. She says you need to know the Greek myths to really enjoy the series, so it qualifies as educational ;-). Listening to The Lightning Thief lead to her reading all his other books. Â And my 8yo chimed in that she enjoys the Roman Mysteries series by Caroline Lawrence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Anna~ Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Instead of the Oxford The World in Ancient Times series, I have decided to supplement with Streams of Civilization Volume 1. I got it in like new condition for 25 cents (so I couldn't pass it up) and I have been reading some of it and I like it so far. The others books I am using or thinking of using are on my (new!) blog. I also tried to put Human Odyssey in Chronological Order since it seemed to skip around a little bit to me. Hope it helps someone!
