NOTE: I don't want anyone to think you HAVE to do all the supplementary stuff we did for SOTW. Many people just read the chapters and talk about them, maybe do an extra activity now and then. We did so much at first because I have a kiddo that needed that to get him engaged, and also because I love history and just wanted to do some of these things with him. But as we progressed we gradually did less projects and supplementing.

How great! I love reading what others are doing with Story of the World! We are also using it and have been taking our time to go through it.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way. I love too see all the creative things people do with it.
DeleteHow great that you coop is working with Story of the World. I love that you are posting what you have been adding to the lessons to engage your child. Having ADHD kiddos myself, this would have been very helpful to read when I was going through this same book.
ReplyDeleteThanks. So how did your kids do with Story of the World? Did you do anything to supplement that worked well? If so, I'd love to hear about it...maybe try out some of your ideas.

ReplyDeleteI am sorry I have been so slow about adding more chapters (and sorry I missed your comment earlier). I was finding it hard to keep up with both homeschool and blogging...and planned to add the rest come summer. Where are you in SOTW? I did make an outline for what we did in ancient Greece...it doesn't have all the paragraph by paragraph info, but it does have the extra resources/videos we used with it. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oxjmtCoHHP1tsROwG08lcTptBBCC9sVBLSlt4zlA_uM/edit?usp=sharing
DeleteThanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! I'm going to share this with my Story of the World Group.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! :-)
DeleteWhat a wonderful round- up of adventures. Thanks for sharing with us at Love to Learn. Pinned.
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch!
DeletePinning to my homeschool history board. :)
ReplyDeletewow... all we did was read through it and talk. :) Never thought about doing anything extra with it. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThanks. A lot of people do just read and talk about it and there's nothing wrong with that. I love history and wanted my son to love it too...but when we started this he had never even let me read a chapter in a chapter book to him. He struggled with just listening to things half the length of a SOTW chapter even when there was pictures. But I loved history and desperately wanted him to love it too...and I liked how SOTW handled this and hadn't found anything shorter that was similar, so I just went to great lengths to make it work. (Plus I was kinda excited to do some hands on history projects...as time went on my son got less interested in those though and we did them less often). I hope when people read this they don't feel pressured to do as much, especially if less is working just fine...or that they think you HAVE to do this much with this curriculum. Many people don't do any of this and their kids still love it.
