Description
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 ae 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.
Publisher's Description of Lesson Plans Plus: K-12 Resource Guide for Biblioplan Ancient History
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.
Category Description for BiblioPlan: Ancient History
In 2022, the Ancients History Year One curriculum received a significant scope and sequence revision. The rest of the program will soon follow the same format. You have the option to choose from two hardcover textbooks: Remember the Days for grades K-7 and Consider the Years for 8-12th grade students. A separate spine program will also be available for your history reading components. The Year One study walks alongside Biblical history as the framework to what is happening in mostly the Middle East and the Mediterranean area, which makes up the geography focus for this year.
This 6-Unit (34 weeks) Ancient History study starts with the creation story and early civilizations (Egyptian, Sumerian, Harappan, Chinese), continues with Egypt, Assyria, and Israel studies, divided Israel, Greeks versus Persians, the Roman Republic, and closes with the Roman Empire and Messiah. While these 6 units are the focus of study, intermixed throughout the program, in the appropriate time eras, are studies on cultures from China, India, the Americas, and Africa beyond Egypt. Scripture is studied against the backdrop of the history learned each week.
The Family Guide will take you step-by-step through text readings from either one of the two 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 this program for each student (K-12) while studying Ancient History together.

Such a Blessing!
Worth the money even if you do not use Biblioplan as a spine. The LP has so many other resources scheduled out that you can use one of them as a spine such as Veritas and CC. There is also a reading list suggestions for each Unit at for each grade group. I have Story of World and followed Biblioplan LP schedule with Victor Journey Bible as another resource. Extremely happy to have so much time saved trying to coordinate those 2 resources. Such a Blessing! If unsure, their website provides a 3 week sample to see it for yourself.

Great resource
Great resource which helps you choose literature books and other resources to go along with the history text. It also syncs up with other history textbooks to give you lots of options.

Biblioplan exceeded my expectations It was easy to use and understand We all found the lessons interesting and informative But it would have been helpful to know that I needed to buy additional materials The books are listed on their website and in the beginning of the program I thought this program was definitely worth the cost because it coordinates many excellent history programs together in an easy to understand format Every book I've read that this program recommends has been worth the read Teacher preparation includes locating the books to be read

Why did you choose this?
I've been looking for a program that works with my children who are different levels--3rd, 5th, & 7th grades. Looks promising!
I chose BiblioPlan to coordinate my family's history using many resources.
So that I could remove some decision fatigue and have the basic layout already done for me.
Has Lesson Plans for Story of the World (as alternate spine) and Victor Journey, which I plan to use. Time is money and it's nice to have plans all laid out for me.
