Guest sarathan Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hi! I've been looking at Living Books Curriculum and I noticed that they teach ancient history and american history at the same time. I'm wondering how that would work and if it would be confusing for the kids or not? Does anyone here teach history that way? Thanks! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna A. Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 LBC is modeled after the Charlotte Mason method, and Miss Mason always taught the history of her home country (England) alongside world history. I don't think it would be too confusing for the child because they created timelines along with their studies, and the rotations are eventually repeated at a higher level.

Melissa B Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 We do multiple history cycles at the same time. We've never had any problems. A timeline is a good way to "see" where everything fits in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaKim Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 We do that using TruthQuest. My dc have never gotten confused at all. The two histories are just too different. We are right now on the Middle Ages and Westward Expansion (U.S.). :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katilac Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 This is also done in the Latin Centered Curriculum; ancient history alongside modern history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malenki Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 We do this and DS has never been confused. As VaKim wrote, the differences are enough that it's never confusing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
