I have always supplemented our curriculum, dropping off books I don't like and adding ones I do, but I have always had a history spine to follow. In Kindergarten through 8th is was My Father's World. In High School we chose Sonlight. Twelfth grade will be our first year going fully eclectic.
After many of our readings/videos below I will have my boys reflect, either in written or in oral form, answering these questions:
How has the material affected me?
- What have I learned?
- How does the material catch the reader’s attention?
- Are there unsolved questions or critical issues?
- How will the material affect my future thinking?
