BiblioPlan's Cool History for Littles: Early Modern History U.S. and World History 1600-1850
BiblioPlan Cool History provides weekly assignment sheets at four different grade level groupings:
It's pretty easy to surmise that the goal of these is to allow a family to challengingly study the same time period and the same topics but at their own distinct levels. This is where you find your students' work and in upper levels their assessments also. There are subtle grade-appropriate variations in the levels but these pages include reading assignments and questions taken from the Remember the Days, Consider the Years, and Companion readings.
The Littles book in the older edition (Medieval, Early Modern, Modern) has suggested reading assignments and questions from Remember the Days; in the 2nd edition (Ancients) these reading assignments are found in the Family Guide. Also included are fun hands-on activities and Globe Fun (introductory map activities). The "Giants of the Faith" section provides biblical figures associated with the times and places of study. These are consumable, colored workbooks.
BP Cool Histories are history workbooks filled with fun questions and activities. The job of answering questions on paper helps students in so many ways! First, it takes them back through the chapter they've just read—which helps them remember more of it. Second, it tests how well they understand what they've read. Third, it forces them to take a closer look at the chapter as they search for the answers they need.
Each Cool History for Littles page has about twelve easy questions for your littlest students to answer. The questions come in the same order as the material in Remember the Days, which makes the answers easier to find. Each page also has a fun activity for your littles to do, plus a short geography lesson called "Globe Fun." For students this young, most parents and teachers read the questions aloud and take the answers orally.
Year Three, Early Modern, is timely, in picking up in the early 1600's with King James and the first lasting American colony being established. Early Modern is the first year that includes United States History. This volume also follows the previous BiblioPlan format. There is one hardcover Remember the Days textbook, for grades K-7, and two soft-cover Companion textbooks for grades 8-12. This is a 6-Unit (34 weeks) course of study covering the New World, Western Europe, Asia and Eastern Europe, the American Revolution, Napoleon, and the Rebellion and Repression. Specific early American geography is also incorporated.
Now with the inclusion of U.S. studies, Volume 3 spends most of the lessons studying World and U.S. history side-by-side. The study of Native American indigenous groups is also included side-by-side with North American history. World studies include the Boers of South Africa, the French and Indian War, stories from China, Japan, Russia, and more. Volume 3 concludes with the Mexican American War and the California Gold Rush. Church history is woven into these studies as the strain between the monarch and the people rise. The pursuit of religious freedom focuses on groups like the Puritans and Quakers, as well as the colonies, and centralizes on the great awakening happening within Christianity all around the world.
The Family Guide will take you step-by-step through text readings from either one of the textbooks. Further literature, audio recordings, videos, maps, and activities are all found in individual spiral-bound books. Material found within each spiral-bound book may be reproduced for family needs. Select exactly what you want to cover with the program for each student (K-12) while studying Early Modern History together.
