If you are able to teach with creative freedom or are a homeschool teacher, this eBook is for you! Find clear, easy-to-follow instructions showing you how to take ANY textbook and map out a plan for a fabulously exciting school year centered around it. Plan each week with timeline and/or map activities, extracurricular reading, interactive websites, and more. You create your own Teacher's Guide with all the activities that you choose. When the school year begins, you will be ready, and nothing will be forgotten along the way. Get more details here, or go directly to our store to order!
Print these in color (or on colorful paper), and record your year's reading:
Ancient History
Middle Ages
Age of Discovery, Renaissance & Reformation
World History
America: The 1600's
America: The 1700's
America: The 1800's
America: The 1900's
Use the Reading Logs above for your students to record their books. Reward every 5 books with candy or a small toy from a Prize Box. If the book is long, every 50 pages can count as 1 book.
Have a "Book Share" at the beginning of your classtime. Encourage your students to bring in their book(s) for "Show and Tell". They can show everyone a few pictures and tell why they liked that particular book.
Want to offer a little more structure for your students in choosing their outside reading? On the one hand, you can be totally structured--assigning your choice of reading throughout the year for all your students. Another approach is to be partially structured. That is, assign a few of your favorites as required reading for a week or two per quarter (or semester), and then allow your students to fill in the rest of the weeks with their personal choices.
Notebooking
Notebooking is best described at Hold That Thought, which offers materials on CD for your student to make their own history notebook. Choose and print out from over 350 worksheets in Vol. 1 and over 600 in Vol. 2 to create attractive reports and other creative activities (including maps). Covers both World and American history from a Christian perspective. The Beginner's Set contains 400 sheets with large-ruled lines for the younger student.
Notebook Covers
Print out these fabulous Notebook Covers to decorate the front of your History binder! Then use it to include things like Reading Logs, mapwork, pictures of your student with a completed craft, pictures of field trips, written reports, etc.
Blank timeline books can get expensive—especially if you have to buy them for more than one student. But making your own can get tricky since that requires cardstock, and most printers can't handle printing cardstock in larger quantities (and some can't print it at all!). We offer an eBook to solve these problems! Use the detailed instructions and colorful time period separation pages to put together as many Timeline Books as you need. Dates are printed separately and attached to each cardstock page. The dates are formatted for labels for convenience, but can also be printed on paper to be cut and glued for the most economical option. Visit our store for more information on this resource!
