Halcyon Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 We are studying WW1 now, and I am off to check on currclick and Scholastic to see if there are any unit studies or lapbooks that might be appropriate. Would love to hear about any resources you ladies have liked. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halcyon Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 okay, so I found the Scholastic ENcyclopedia of the US at War very cheaply on Amazon, and it was recommended on a couple of blogs, so that's purchased. I am strongly considering HOAC's lapbook...has anyone used it? I have used their lapbooks before, and they all follow a similar format, so in that sense, I know what I am buying..... Thanks.

Jeanne in MN Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Usborne has a great book on the World Warshttp://www.amazon.com/The-World-Wars-Introduction-Second/dp/0794519717/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1341300945&sr=8-1&keywords=world+wars+usborne Where Poppies Grow-a WWI Companion by Linda Granfield This was an interesting book on the background of the poppies that we associate with war veterens. Found it fascinating about the plant and why they grew so abundantly during the war. Not sure if the poem about Flanders Field is in there or not. That's worth looking into as well. http://www.amazon.com/Where-Poppies-Grow-World-Companion/dp/1550051466/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1341301024&sr=1-1&keywords=where+poppies+grow+a+world+war+i+companion The Singing Tree by Kate Seredy This is about a family that takes in children from war zones during WWI and care for them. http://www.amazon.com/Singing-Tree-Newbery-Library-Puffin/dp/0140345434/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1341301103&sr=1-1&keywords=the+singing+tree+by+kate+seredy Edited July 3, 2012 by Jeanne in MN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollyhock Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I second the Usborne World Wars book. My 10yo devoured it and reads it for fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
