Mom in eu Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Hi there we loved the SOTW series and activity books. Can you recommend any nice activity books and curriculum to cover the time after SOTW4 for multiage instruction for Grade 5-9? Ideally suited for multiage home instruction like the SOTW readers and activity books? Many thanks for any suggenstions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amateur Actress Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 You could go through SOTW again but add in different books/activities this time and have your older ones read more of the suggested extra books. Or you could have your 9th grader do his/her own thing with The History of the World series by SWB, while the youngers do SOTW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Ah, that. ^ You can amend SOTW to fit an older grade. However, when we get to the second round I want a little bit deeper for middle school so our resources will look different. At that age, students are able to read more, comprehend more, and make more connections. You can use an open and go program like History Odyssey, which relies on a mixture of literature books and encyclopedia work or you can build your own using a loose guide like Creek Edge Press, where you can continue using SOTW but add in other resources like Reading Like A Historian. Or, you can use something like K12's Human Odyssey 3 volume set with Hakim's Story of Science 3 volume set, and use the upper range of activities from SOTW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausmumof3 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I keep hoping that once Swb finishes with the history of series she will write a middle school one! If she started now it will be ready for my younger two... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 we did a second cycle of WTM, adding in the encyclopedia recommendations for the logic stage kids ds14 at the moment is using Usborne internet linked History Encyclopedia and doing all the internet links etc as well. He is in grade 9. He has already done 2 complete cycles of SOTW. Once with just SOTW once with KIngfisher Encyclopedia added in . He started young because he was following along with older siblings. His literature list for the year ties into his year of history study. The twins are doing SOTW for the first time They are currently half way through book 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom in eu Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 Thank you for the great ideas! Going through a second cycle and adding a few more resources. The Usborne internet linked history book also sounds very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
