One of the fears of not using a packaged curriculum for history is that there will be some holes in your timeline.
It can be a bit overwhelming for mom to try and decide what needs to be taught.
(Lists are available, but sometimes too many choices can be as bad as too few!)
As I sat down today to formulate a World History plan for the rest of the school year, I remembered a study tool that I bookmarked last summer.
G.R.A.P.E.S.
Geography
Religion
Achievements
Politics
Economy
Society
These categories make up the basic framework for studying World History.
Anything in addition is just gravy. 🙂
I created some notebook pages that will work for each civilization we study.
For the older kids, there is a page to fill out and a list of ideas for each category (to help little ears pay attention).
The younger kids will only have to draw a picture for each category.
Feel free to download these for your family.
I hope it makes your World History journey a little easier!

We are taking a break from our regularly-scheduled program tomorrow to have a bit of Groundhog Day fun!

–>UPDATE: SEE THE FEBRUARY 2014 WRITING PROMPT CALENDAR HERE<–
A couple of years ago, I put together some writing prompt calendars for my kiddos to use with their creative writing journals.
The ideas weren’t originals – I used several websites to put them together.
My kids requested that we do them again, so I decided to make my own.
I hope your gang enjoys them as much as mine does!
