skirch Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I think I want to do Mississippi history over the summer with my rising 7th grader. Before I start researching resources, are there any state history programs already out there? Or do most people pull it together themselves? Any suggestions or tips?

cbollin Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Statehistory. net has easy to follow program. It has christian point of view, but I don't remember what that meant. I didn't feel at the time it was too much or over the top (but that's way too subjective to evaluate). here's a link http://statehistory.net/ and edit to add link to the sample and more info https://www.statehistory.net/uploads/state_history_download.pdf likes: had easy to follow lesson plans for year, or semester, or even quicker pace for summer (6 weeks). Covered basics of the state. you order for the one you want. Read the lesson in the student book. build a notebook of info, take a few quizzes. It's easy to do. Can be used in upper elementary, middle, or high school. dislikes: It wasn't a big deal for me, but you'll need to have a few pictures to print, or cut and paste from tourist brochures, to do a few of the pages. That really wasn't hard to get at a tourist places (rest area on interstate, or hotel lobby, or city tourism office) and/or print a few pictures from state tourism site.
