Medieval Times History Schedule
Chronological History, Year 2
Target Age: 1st- 4th Grade
Primary Texts:
The Story of the World, Volume 2: The Middle Ages (Susan Wise Bauer) (SOTW2)
The Story of the World Activity Book 2
Usborne Internet-Linked Encyclopedia of World History (UILE)
Classical Conversations Acts & Facts Timeline Cards, Set 2: Middle Ages (opt.)
Chapter Books to Read-Aloud:
Beowulf: A Hero's Tale Retold
The Adventures of Sir Lancelot the Great (Knight's Tales Series)
The Adventures of Sir Gawain the True (Knight's Tales Series)
Aladdin & Other Tales from Arabian Nights
Favorite Medieval Tales
Eric the Red & Leif the Lucky
St. George & the Dragon
Knights of the Round Table
Canterbury Tales (Cohen, Barbara)
Robin Hood
Pedro's Journal
Ten Tales from Shakespeare
Time Required: Approx. 40 weeks (some could be combined or shortened to work more quickly or spread out to last longer) @ 2-3 days per week
Overview:
This is the second year of a three-year scheduled Chronological History of the World, incorporating history, art, literature, and geography. The primary text is The Story of the World series by Susan Wise Bauer. I did this year with a 3rd & 1st grader, but you could easily do this with any elementary age. We typically spent 1-2 days reading the chapter from the book while we colored a coloring page, did extra reading books throughout the week, then used a third day (usually Friday) for fun projects or activities.
We love Classical Conversations, so that is why I chose to add in the Classical Acts & Facts History Cards, Set 2 from CC. You could easily leave those out or make your own. I have also included this year a World Geography study. Each week (although not EVERY week) we will "travel" to one country of the world (usually one that goes along with the history we are studying) by reading books, doing an art project or craft, reading about the lives of children who live there, completing a short country report, and learning how to say something in the language of that country. Because I'm including this, we didn't do many of the map activities included in the SOTW Activity Book.
I have included several historical fiction books in this schedule below. These are the longer chapter books that I would consider purchasing because they may take a week or longer. (Most could be easily read by a 2nd grader or above, or you can read them aloud together.) Many shorter books are included each week that I found at our small local library. I'm sure you could find plenty of acceptable replacements if you can't find the exact ones listed.
Schedule:
Week 1- Ch. 1, Italy
Week 2- Ch. 2, United Kingdom, Beowulf: A Hero's Tale Retold
Week 3- Ch. 3, The Adventures of Sir Lancelot the Great
Week 4- Ch. 4, Greece, The Adventures of Sir Gawain the True
