(Disclaimer: This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see Disclosure Policy.)
Supplies:
- Story of the World Volume 2 (We do an average of one chapter per week, but if chapters are unusually short we may double up in one week, or if there is a lot of content to cover, we extend into multiple weeks.)
- Story of the World Volume 2 Activity Book
- Story of the World Volume 2 Test and Answer Key Book
- Binder or notebook for notes, maps, lapbook pieces, timeline, tests, etc. (It’s helpful to keep everything together in one place.)
Activities are aimed specifically at elementary age
Activities for middle school age
Activities for both age ranges
(I will continue to update as we work through these chapters and I find more resources to incorporate, as well as add pictures.)
Options for each chapter:
- Read chapter
- Answer review questions from activity book either written or orally (I usually write the questions in the notebook, leaving space between each for them to write the answers. It takes a little extra time to write the questions myself, but it helps me keep up to date with what they are learning and to know what to ask about.)
- Map work from activity book
- Coloring page from activity book
- Pick a craft project from activity book
- Timeline Entry or Timeline Cards (We stapled the printable timeline inside the back cover of the notebook and add pages as we need them by taping them to the last one. It will end up accordion-like.)
