What to add to MOH to make more meaty?

[fourcatmom]

We started MOH Ancients with my 11yo who loves History. She is also reading SOTW as a side as it corrolates with MOH chapters. We are doing a timeline/book of centuries combo and taking the pre-test and after tests. She is also doing the projects/activities when they are listed.

 

Is still doesn't feel like enough to me. I do one lesson a day M-W and then one day for extra things like the timeline. Is there anything else I can add to beef this up some? We are not doing the memory cards. She even made out the whole student notebook and she is worked through lesson 9 and she doesn't have much to show for it.

 

More projects or hands on tied with more reading would be great.

 

Thanks!

You could look into Biblioplan, but I don't know if you want to invest that much more. Or, you could purchase the extras from MOH.

We are adding in History Pockets and as many read alouds as we can! There are also books like Ancient History:Make it Work! if you want to include more projects. Also, check out the Guesthollow website- she has a great history plan to go with MOH.

Thank You. I guess I am not the only one who felt it needed more. I had originally wanted to go with BiblioPlan but then went with MOH. I like the text, I just want more. She is not so artsy, so I don't know if History Pockets will work for her but she does like building and doing other kinds of activities. I will look into those...thanks again! :001_smile:
