cintinative Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) Did you add any primary sources from these time periods? The last three or four years I have been adding primary sources to our main text (Human Odyssey). I was wondering if you did this with the SWB series, and if you have any texts to recommend. (Or a schedule of using portions of sources like Herodotus, etc.). Does anyone know something about these: A Medieval Omnibus: Sources in Medieval European History Renaissance and Reformation Reference Library: Primary Sources https://www.amazon.com/dp/0787654736/?coliid=I2DB9BR96158XE&colid=231ENAT246CQ2&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it Edited January 6, 2020 by cintinative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2_girls_mommy Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 WE read the Story of Western Science alongside and read original sources from links from that. We read a lot of literature from The Well Trained Mind to go along and went to museum exhibits and such. We are doing much more original source work now with modern history (for which there is no SWB book, lol.) WTM supplied us with an amazing reading list which we in no way tried to do in full, but gave us lots of choices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 @2_girls_mommy did you/do you like the schoolhouse teacher's modern history course? I will be looking for options after the SWB books are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2_girls_mommy Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Yes, I really do. Dd17 likes it too. It's organized enough that she can follow it on her own. It links to the primary sources and has critical thinking activities with each unit. We go over those for discussion time with dd15. It's nicely done. I just add WTM literature readings and videos/ documentaries. Edited January 8, 2020 by 2_girls_mommy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meriwether Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 We are reading things written during that time like Hammurabi's Code and Herodotus. We also read some things online from time to time, but we don't do it consistently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
