Year 7 History
This is Amy and I am wondering if I am missing a complete guide for Year 7? Either way, I could use some history advice for my 7th grader. My daughter is planning to start The Book of Middle Ages next week (and I just ordered your guide for that -- thank you!). I am also thinking of assigning Augustus Caesar's World simultaneously as a separate ancient history strand. Would this be too much? She has looked over it and really liked it. Additionally, we have not done a great job with American history the past few years because I have really struggled with the current selections available and how both the older and newer books handle our racial history. She just finished A History of US, Book 1. Would jumping into William Penn and George Washington's World be too great a leap as well as utter overkill on history? I could have her wait on The Book of Middle Ages but she is already reading a lot of the literature for that era, so it seems like a nice fit. We traveled to England in the fall so she is particularly excited about some of those historical connections. Thanks for any help you have to offer. :)
Hi! Thank you so much! I went ahead and purchased those two guides (16th-18th Century History and Ivanhoe). I so appreciate the work and time you put into the guides. They are so helpful. :)
I hope your family gets to go to England some day! My oldest daughters, twins, are currently studying there so it was an opportunity to get them settled and experience places we've read about.
Thanks again!
