We have enjoyed level 1 and 2 so wanted to continue. I only use the activity book for map work and review questions and coloring sheet. Some times I will find one on the books listed on YouTube for us to watch but never have done any of crafts.

Why did you choose this?
Can I use the revised activity book with Susan Bauer's original Volume 3 Early Modern Times?
Absolutely- I do. The biggest difference I noticed is the list of recommended additional books has been updated.
Can you please verify that this text does NOT contain religious content?
While the author will not leave out any historical text that might pertain to Christianity, she does not seem to have a bias. It seems more informative, because she references any religion that was practiced during the time in history that it being studied and how it shaped history.
can this be used for 7th grade?
I probably wouldn't use it for that grade. While, in my opinion, a lot of the activities and extra curricular source investigation in the first half of the book could be beneficial, in the second half (student pages) it's full of simplistic map and coloring pages, which I think a 12 year old might feel silly doing.
What reading level are these activities on?
My son is 10, but reads at a higher level. I think this is a fabulous book...he seems really engaged. Hope this helps! We purchased the Rainbow Curriculum Set for both my 10 and 7 year olds and we are LOVING it!!! We will do this from now on, as opposed to buying super expensive curriculum. Definitely worth the money!
Love this series!
A lot of fun activities to accompany the text.
Looking to add coordinating activities to this great SS resource.
Fun for the kids
