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.
We’ve never been big family TV watchers. Mostly because my children turn into monsters when they want to watch and can’t and/or when we have to transition to something else. Plus, by not having TV on too often, it has magical powers for my kids and will keep them interested and in one place at times when I need them quiet and out of my way while I do something important.
And while I love doing hands-on history and reading history, what kid doesn’t love movie days in school? Which is why once in awhile, when we’re tired or sick or the weather is bad or I just need a break or the kids need a change, I’ll put on a movie or documentary that has to do with something we’re learning in school.
I’ve also included movie and documentary suggestions for each Big Ideas through History Section along with the book lists and suggested websites and web videos because I know that every learner and family has different needs and styles.
Which is what Big Ideas through History is all about: giving homeschool families a framework for world history while allowing the freedom to learn, and explore history in whatever way is best for each.
Check out the Movie lists for the first 3 units of Big Ideas through History:
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!
