BiblioPlan Medieval Lesson Plans Plus
BiblioPlan Lesson Plans Plus, formerly known as the Family Guide, provides the structural framework for the program – a full year's worth of history and literature readings. The Lesson Plan Plus is necessary. There are four guides, one for each of the four classical (chronological) time periods Ancient, Medieval, Early Modern, and Modern. This is the core of the whole program (and once WAS the whole program). Designed by a group of homeschooling moms, these guides provide a 34-week, comprehensive lesson plans with annotated reading lists, audio options, video suggestions, and additional resources for each grade level. With a goal of integrating quality historical literature with biblical and secular history, these moms put together an easy-to-follow plan covering the historical topic (Classtime), intentional scriptural study, References and Resources for textual information about the topic, Literature Selections of the Week (for all grade levels), a Family Read Aloud suggestion, Writing Ideas, weekly Memory Work, Optional Fiction & free online resources, movies, and suggested Activities. Introductory information in each Guide includes the usual "how to find books" and "how to use the plan" information as well as the book lists for both the scheduled and the optional literature. Each Unit also includes an annotated book list specifically for that unit’s course of study for 6 weeks.
If you are under the impression that the Lesson Plans Plus might be all you need, you would be correct. They're comprehensive and thorough; well-constructed plans. You could complete four years (plus four more if you wanted) of interesting history, absorbing literature, and engaging activity possibilities using just these guides. If you go this route, you will need to use the frequently referenced "spine resources." These include the BiblioPlan textbooks (Remember the Days or Consider the Years), Story of the World, Mystery of History, The Kingfisher History Encyclopedia, The Usborne Encyclopedia of World History, or History of US and several others.
The Family Guide is where BP blends history with literature. To really understand the past, students must read literature that takes them back to the past. BP finds the best literature for every era, and then tells you how it all fits into our program.
Picking up where Volume 1 leaves off, BiblioPlan Medieval does some review and then delves into the fall of the Roman Empire. Year Two follows the previous format. There is one hardcover Remember the Days textbook for grades K-7, and two soft-cover Companion textbooks for grades 8-12. The 6-Units (34 weeks) of study will take your students on a historical journey around the world. Since the scope of study now includes a world view, the geography component has expanded to cover the whole globe.
From the Fall of the Roman Empire to about year 1600, unit studies include Early Christianity and the Rise of Islam, Europe and the Crusades, Asia, Exploration of the New World, the Renaissance and the Reformation, and the Elizabethan Era. Study is twofold: World History and Church History. A big focus is on Britain and France. World History will also study the Vikings, the Magna Carta, the Middle East, medieval India, the Ottoman Empire, art, science, Columbus, and the Tudor family. Within Church History learn about the first Christian martyrs to the first Christian emperor, Constantine. Study how the Church used and abused their power which led to some of the greatest Church schisms in history. You will study Christian creeds, councils, the Crusades, the Inquisition, key individuals, and the Reformation.
The Family Guide will take you step-by-step through text readings from either one of the textbooks. Further literature, audio, 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 Medieval History together.

I only want this not the entire program; best price.
We love Biblioplan - this is our second year!
It is apart of the book series that we started last year.
I've used the 1st edition in the past and decided to upgrade to the newer edition.
