Description
BiblioPlan Family Guides

provide the structural framework for the program - a full year's worth of history and literature readings and the Family Guide is necessary for either approach. 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 34 weekly spreadsheets; each a comprehensive lesson plan and annotated reading lists 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), a Psalm study, References and Resources for textual information about the topic, Literature Selections of the Week (for grades K-2, 3+, 5+ and 8+), a Family Read Aloud suggestion, Writing Ideas, 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.

If it sounds like the Family Guides 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 Story of the WorldMystery of History, The Kingfisher History Encyclopedia, The Usborne Encyclopedia of World History, or History of US and a number of others.

Publisher's Description of BiblioPlan: Early Modern Lesson Plans Plus

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: Early Modern History

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.
