hswarden Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I have a word document I found somewhere years ago which lists people, events, and memory work for the period 1600-1850 . Where did I find it? I need a similar list for the Middle Ages/Renaissance period (I'm not confessing how long it's taken me to get back to the Middle Ages.) Can somebody help me? It's such a handy thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allearia Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Wow, Hannah, these are amazing. I just joined your group and downloaded the SOTW1 file and I am going to print this out and use it right away. The memory cards are beautiful. We just have to finish up with Alexander the Great and Rome but this will be very worthwhile to use to review all we have learned, then when we start SOTW2 we will go from the beginning with your Middle Ages file and cards. No more envy of those Veritas Press cards, these work much better for our family. I hugely appreciate all the work this must have involved and your freely sharing of this. Thanks!

hswarden Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 Wow, that is an impressive list. Thank you so much for putting it here. Do you have a list of quotations or poems or writings kids might put to memory from this period? In my 1600-1850 list, it suggested memorizing parts of the Common Sense, the Declaration, and the Constitution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanga Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Thanks for the list! This is my third time through History and I have never seen such a concise list of dates and events. You have saved me a lot of work. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth in IN Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hi, Is there a list like that for 1600 to 1850? Thanks, Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allearia Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I spent a while today cutting out, pasting front to back, and laminating the ancient history cards I got from the yahoo group files. Wow, they are great! ds loves them too. What a great find. Thanks again for all your work on these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hswarden Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Is there a list like that for 1600 to 1850? Beth, I am sorry I cannot past my list here--it is 2000 characters too long, even after I deleted the text of the documents! My list doesn't look longer than Hannah's; how did she get hers in here? Can someone tell me how I can place this word document where Beth can see it? I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Is there a list like that for 1600 to 1850? Can someone tell me how I can place this word document where Beth can see it? I have no idea. You could split it into two posts. Copy and paste the top half of the list in your Word document to one post and then continue the bottom half in the next post or if you like, you can add it to the file section at this yahoo group.
