Classically Minded Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 We are doing The Human Odyssey Volume 1 and I'm wondering if anyone has any (or has links to) corresponding worksheets, Q&A, book lists, projects, videos or anything that would go along with it. I'm using some things from SOTW activity guide (books, maps and crafts/projects) but I'm looking for more for the 5th-8th grade child. I'm also adding in TGAB history lessons fitted into each time period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momto6inIN Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I don't have worksheets or anything like that, but I do have it broken up into 134 days of assignments along with the following written directions to my 5th grade student: Each day of assigned reading: · Read the assigned sections, including all boxes and sidebars · Add relevant dates to your Book of Centuries timeline · Look up the relevant locations on the wall map and/or globe · Make a list of important facts in complete sentences for each section in your history notebook (not all the facts, not all the details, not what you find most interesting, just the important facts) Then every 1-2 weeks I include these directions: Write an outline: · Pick a section you’ve read that interests you · Go through each paragraph in that section and ask, “What is the most important statement in this paragraph?” · Write it down in outline form as follows Section Title I. Statement from Paragraph 1 II. Statement from Paragraph 2 III. Statement from Paragraph 3 and so on 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
