Around the Medieval World

Description

Are you interested in going around the Medieval world with your homeschool lessons this year? This is a literature-based family-style curriculum for elementary students! Designed to promote either Charlotte Mason or Classical styles of education. This curriculum includes stories of Medieval history expanded into many subjects from around the globe for families of first through sixth graders. Unlike free online CM curricula, you don’t have to schedule out the recommended books. These lesson plans are researched and laid out so you can do the recommended readings confident in completing the scope at the end. Each week covers connected topics to explore ideas in the same categories but without the 5-day format. This allows you to have a day for co-op, two days for blended model, or a day to catch up.

Emphasas on family connection

What sets this curriculum apart is that you learn as a family rather than having students on multiple learning tracts.

Many cycle curriculums I see claim to be global, but tend to slide back and focus on Western Europe. I’ve tried to spend equal time on the different continents. Each selection for a culture not my own was cross-checked with people whose culture it is. 

Two months of each school year are taken to examine the ancient history and culture of 4 of the major contents.

• Kick off with the fall of the Roman Empire. This has Asian, European, and some African mixed together.
• Africa
• Asia
• Europe
• Americas

Science is different this year!!! I will have a younger elementary track that leans into nature learning. Then there will be a “second helpings” track that includes higher level science! The second helpings track will include YouTube training resources to help explain the more complex concepts. I’ve also written and included labs. Lessons are reviewed by a certified elementary educator and an educator who has completed the Charlotte Mason Institute CORE teacher’s training.  ATTENTION: The purchase comes with an invitation to join the “Community Facebook Group”. 

• Front and back – color printed and laminated (heavier lamination is better).
