luuknam Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Also the 1977 movie "A Bridge Too Far" is PG rated (of course, rated back when the PG-13 rating didn't exist yet), or, by Kijkwijzer, rated 6+ for violence, 12+ for fear, and 12+ for discrimination. In case y'all were wondering. I'm pretty sure I've never seen the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Ed-po: Warnings and such... Luuknam -- ds17 did a 20th century class a few years ago and also a history of war class. Most of this was done on his own, and he read a lot. Most of what he read was on a high school level of course, but we did come across a few things that might interest your ds. The Cornerstones of Freedom series is really good for that age. There are several titles that would cover WWI and WWII Other recommendations for WWI: Silent Night, Holy Night: The Story of the Christmas Truce by Walter Cronkite. There is a dvd of this story as well, but I don't remember if we watched it. a graphic novel about the Red Baron by Wayne VanSant ETA: Russell Freedman's The War to End All Wars -- This might be a little advanced -- I really don't remember what was in it exactly -- but I love Russell Freedman's books. I am going to be doing the 20th century class with dd15 and dd13, starting next week, so we *should* :glare: get to WWI in March. If I find anything else, I will try to remember to post it. ETA: We got these books from the library, so I can't just glance through them to remind me of appropriateness for 5th grade. Now, off to look for WWII recommendations...

Junie Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I'm not seeing anything that stands out right now for WWII except The Journey That Saved Curious George. We never got to read this because our library lost it and never replaced it. There are two versions of the book, one for younger children and one for older. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Yes, and I guess WWII had plenty of stuff going on in Asia... I'm just not sure to what degree he wants it to be WWI & WWII, nor whether he'd be annoyed if I gave it an Asian spin, but, as you know, NL was occupied in WWII, so, anything European feels pretty close-to-home (at least to me). It even crossed my mind that I could drag him to some WWI/WWII sites while we'll be in Europe this summer... e.g., Dachau wouldn't really be a detour when driving home from Austria, BUT, even the Dachau Memorial's website itself says that they have nothing for kids, and that they don't recommend it for kids under 12, and that most of it is really 14+. Of course, there are milder options - e.g. my parents don't live all that far from a Bridge Too Far, where there is a small WWII museum. Pretty boring from the one time I went there though. How about a thorough chronological history of war and then by the time you get to WW2 he'll be older and ready for the trauma that goes with it. You can take a couple years. I'm being annoying on the bilingual board. Weird question, just go with it. What color is Latin? I say red too. It's so obviously red to me that there should be no more discussion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maize Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I'm being annoying on the bilingual board. Weird question, just go with it. What color is Latin? I had my books color coded with sticker dots at one point. Pink was for foreign languages. So Latin is pink. Red was history. Dark Green was science. Yellow was language arts and literature. White was religion and family history. Light green was parenting and homeschooling how-to. And blue...blue was something. Can't remember. That system fell apart many years ago but I've still got books with dots around. I should find a blue one and see what it is.

There's a book called The Good Fight that's good (WWII). LOTS of Landmark books on WWII, though many are out of print.

Critterfixer Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Wait! I don't think it's true sleepiness. I think I want to be awake, but on the couch with blankie, coffee, ITT, and a book. No talking. Mine is true sleepiness. I work very hard in my dreams. Last night I walked about 300 miles dragging a very long pipe with a metal rod in it, almost fainted going down a very steep hill and then when I got to my destination, I couldn't cross the bridge because it was out. After that I went for a two day hike in a mosquito infested swamp, and I had to tuck my pants into my socks to keep the assassin bugs from crawling in and biting me. Then I went to a house where someone had recently died and I had to go through the place and tidy everything up so that the estate could be sold. There were spotted owls nesting in one of the windows, so I couldn't do much with that room. Consequently, I need to go to sleep to recover from sleeping, but caffeine is probably easier. :sleep: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
