History is one of my favorite subjects to teach, and my favorite history curriculum to teach from is The Mystery of History series by Linda Lacour Hobar. I love that I am able to use it to teach all my children, each at their own level, at the same time.
Mystery of History vol. 1 covers Creation through Jesus' death and resurrection and Mystery of History vol. 2 covers the early church and the middle ages. The curriculum is complete and contains:
*Three lessons per week
*Fun projects and hands on activities
*Photos from around the word
*Exercises, quizzes, quarterly work sheets, and semester tests
*Weekly timeline and mapping assignments
*"Memory Cards"
*Easy to use format
*Reproducibles
*Supplemental reading and resource lists
I like how easily I we can adapt this curriculum to notebooking, but we also like the timeline, and memory cards. The pre-tests are a fun way for the children to see what they already know, and we do these orally, as well as, many of the other tests. It is really a fun for us to learn together.
If you want a complete history curriculum that is easy to use, fun to teach and learn from, and that the whole family would enjoy, than I know you will want to check out The Mystery of History series.
The Mystery of History vol. 2 is currently available through Bright Ideas Press for $49.95. There are three volumes in this series, and numerous options for supplemental resources and books, as well as, a CD audio set, and a reproducibles CD set, that you may be interested in also.
