StaceyL in Canada Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Next year I'll be doing ancient history for the first time with my youngest son,who will be 10/ gr 5. It feels like ages since I covered ancients with my older boys... Is there anything like Writing Tales or any sort of imitation in writing program specifically geared for *ancient history* for his age? Write From History has an ancients book but it seems to be more along the lines of narration and dictation, not actual writing practice. Does IEW have a specific lesson plan/ program using material from/ about ancient history? Or something from Logos school/ Matt Whitling? I seem to recall this vaguely.... Thanks for any help.

SonshineLearner Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 IEW has an Ancient History Writing program http://www.excellenceinwriting.com/index.php?q=catalog/history Carrie:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peela Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 IEW has an Ancient History Writing program http://www.excellenceinwriting.com/index.php?q=catalog/history Carrie:-) I use the Medieval one and it is going very well. Very easy way to cover "writing" and "writing for history" at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is, as you go through each unit, you substitute the history-based material for the source texts/ material in the regular IEW lessons?

Is there enough material in the history-based lessons books for adequate practice of each unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaceyL in Canada Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Have you looked at the samples lessons online? Yes--I guess I did not look closely enough to get a clear sense of how long it would take to cover the lessons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samiam Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I just started to look at IEW, the American History Vol 1, as we will be doing American History next year (6th grade). I was trying to figure out if we could do the IEW History, if we have never done any other part of IEW. At that point, next fall, we would have worked about half way through Apologia Jump In...would that be enough of a background in writing for son who hates writing thus far, to do IEW?
