I kept trying to move along chronologically, but gave up when Dude got obsessed with Norse mythology, and Super wanted to learn about Anne Frank. <br /><br />My two-week unit on Marco Polo and the Silk Road stretched into two months...but my kids weren't the least bit interested in explorers in North America. <br /><br />I'm not too worried about jumping around, as long as we keep up with our timeline binders and put our projects in chronological order. I hope by the time the kids are in high school, our binders will be sort of a homemade history book that they can use as a chronological reference.<br /><br />Good luck with the new plan! It's great that your kids are so interested in history! <br /><br /> Sparkleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738282395161764356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7788937665884473331.post-36251691733932439982012-08-31T04:47:14.362-07:002012-08-31T04:47:14.362-07:00This looks like a great stack of books to work fro...This looks like a great stack of books to work from :) I started out our homeschooling journey thinking we would go chronologically, and we used SOTW as well...it didn't turn out that way after all! We did read through most of SOTW, but we didn't make it into the whole focus as some families do. We are DEFINITELY interest-led at this point. My girls both love historical fiction and biographies and that leads us lots of interesting places :) I also try to incorporate historically-oriented read alouds.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17600694619101352923noreply@blogger.com
