Description
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.
Upper Middles has Questions from the readings, Challenge Questions, Optional Bonus Question or Activity and includes periodic (about every six weeks) exams. These are consumable, colored workbooks.
Publisher's Description of BiblioPlan: Medieval Cool History Upper Middles
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.
Cool History for Upper Middles bridges the gap between the logic stage of learning and the rhetoric stage. Like Cool History for Middles, it has some easy questions with short answers. But like Cool History for Advanced, it also has some thought-provoking questions with no right or wrong answer. Each assignment ends with an Optional Bonus Question/Activity that requires a bit of research. CHUM also has pre-written tests for parents and teachers who need them.
Category Description for BiblioPlan: Medieval History
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.

Why did you choose this?
Do I need to purchase one for each student, or can they share? If sharing, do they need page copies?
If your kiddos are at different levels, I would get them the book appropriate for their level as the questions get more in depth at the higher levels. If they are at the same level, they could easily share the book and write their answers on another piece of paper.
Review - I use this open book style so they can review as they hunt for answers they don't remember
Looks like a great way to review the week
