This post is part of my 10 Ways to Teach Prehistoric and Ancient History series, which is part of 10 Days of Tips for Homeschoolers, hosted by Living Life and Learning.
I love to be able to make history fun for my kids by playing history games and doing hands-on activities, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t still an important learning topic. And sometimes that means being a little more academic and serious about learning history.
And any time I can combine subjects, it’s a win for everyone all around! Using history topics as an opportunity to explore writing styles and forms helps to show understanding of a topic as well as provide both writing and history portfolio documents.
So, when I began working on Big Ideas through History, I knew I wanted to add a writing component. And the add-on Writing Projects for Part 1 is available starting today with one writing project for each Part 1 Unit. And because new Units are still being added (the Part 1 Writing Add-on currently includes writing projects for Units 1-4, with 5-10 coming later this year), you can grab the writing add-on for half off when you use discount code “prewrite”.
Each writing project has options available to make it appropriate for young learners through advanced learners and many different modes, styles, and types of writing are included. Some are research based while others are more creative and fun.
Big Ideas through History has been a huge undertaking, and as such, it’s a work in progress.
But, that means a great deal for you!
Because, for a limited time, you can get the Complete Part 1 (Units 1-10) for the cost of the first 3 Units currently available.
The price of Part 1 will continue to go up as new Units are added, but anyone who buys the complete Part 1 now gets access to all 10 units as they are added (see the current publishing timeline).
The final price of the complete Part 1 will be $60 (a 20% savings off the individual prices) but you can get the first 3 units now, and access to units 4-10 later this year, for only $22, which is a savings of over 70% for Units 1-10.
Pin it!
