gandpsmommy Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 We used SOTW, vol. 1 for history this year. I'm debating about whether we should use Vol. 2 or another resource. I don't have a copy of TWTM, as I always just check it out of the library when I need to re-read it. So, can someone with a copy pretty please help me out with what the suggestions for 2nd grade history (middle ages) are. If I remember correctly, the book was written before the SOTW series was published, so they recommended other books for the grammar stage history cycle. I was thinking it was an Usborne or Kingfisher book. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaik76 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I'm looking at WTM, 1st edition right now... The suggestions for Medieval History are: The Usborne Book of World History (you could sub the Usborne Encyclopedia of World History) I think Kingfisher is used in the upper grades. Some other General resources are: Ancient Aztecs Treasure Chest A Coloring Book of the Middle Ages Who Were the Vikings? The Italian Renaissance: Living History Columbus Discovers America Coloring Book What Were Castles For? Living in Castle Times Life in a Medieval Castle and Village Coloring Book Knights Treasure Chest Myths and Legends of the Vikings Coloring Book Queen Eliz. I Paper Dolls to Color Growing Up in Viking Times Journey through History: The Middle Ages Journey through History: The Renaissance Hope this is helpful! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMCassandra Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 The general concept was to choose a "spine" and then get additional books from the library on topics that interested your child. The spines generally recommended were DK/Kingfisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanda7 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 My DD loves the Usborne Book of World History and reads it for pleasure hours at a time. We use it as a spine as recommended in the pre-SOTW edition. The Usborne Living in Castle Times flap book was a big hit as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
