mo2 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Has anyone used the two together? I want to use History of US for our American History, but am not sure when to use it. Would you do it alongside vol 4 of SOTW, or would you do a year of American History after finishing SOTW? This will not be for a few years, but I'm trying to figure out a semi-plan for K through 8 just so I can feel a bit more prepared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda in NM Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 looking at the chapters and augmenting the areas that SOTW touches on (the Civil War, for instance). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been interspersing History of US with SOTW 3 (there is some that overlaps with SOTW 1 and 2, but not much), using the schedule posted here. There's another schedule on the same website for SOTW 4 and History of US but we've not gotten there yet.... It does slow us down quite a bit, but part of that is that we have a lot of other things we're adding in now too -- you could still get it done in maybe a year or a year-and-a-half depending on your scheduling...

mcconnellboys Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I used only a few chapters of book 1 with ancient history. I think they were chapters 1-5 and 10. The rest of that book was covered during medieval history, with SOTW II. Books 2-5 were used with the early modern period. Books 6-10 were used along with modern history. The Sourcebook contains primary documents that may be used along with the readings in the books, too. Regena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I'm planning to using Biblioplan year 3 with SOTW 3 next year and I know it schedules History of Us (I want to say volumes 2-5 for year 3 and later volumes for year 4). So that's another option for a schedule, and another example of other people who also thought it a good idea to combine the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Corin Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I didn't end up using it (used This Country of Ours instead) because it was just too much for us, but you are welcome to the schedule if it might help. As I haven't used it, please look out for errors: SOTW3/HofUS I didn't schedule HofUS with SOTW4, so I don't have a spreadsheet for that.

WTMindy Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 because my kids love history. I used the same chart someone listed above. The only problem is that when you study the Civil War there is one week in SOTW and 1 volume in History of US. This made for a lot of reading, but I loved the combo of the 2.
