History Makers Notebooking Pages – Famous Persons from Ancient to Modern – Set 2

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

I created the history makers notebooking pages because I don’t use one book or curriculum anymore when teaching homeschool history. Too, look at my page Homeschool Geography for hands-on and simple ideas and tips.

Earlier I shared set 1 of history makers notebooking pages because I do use a variety of reference books when creating unit studies. 

Keeping history lively, eventful and hands-on is my priority right now instead of always focusing on chronological order.

History Makers Notebooking Pages – Famous Persons from Ancient to Modern – Set 2

Teaching about a variety of time periods also allows us to focus on famous people or history makers. 

Because I always like my pages easy and not complicated to figure out, especially for older kids who have a lot of subjects to do anyway, I created this second set the same way as the first set.

History Makers Set 2

Next, look at some of these geography resources.

This broad introduction to the fascinating world around us explores our planet’s physical features from the highest mountain peak to the deepest ocean trench. The team behind Maps & Globes proves that geography can indeed be an adventure.

Write a few important facts about the time period the person lived in and also write about what events made this person famous. 

These pages can be used for middle school or high school ages.

History Makers Notebooking Pages

Too, I added a box for drawing just in case you had a younger learner or sometimes the time period that the famous history maker lived in lends itself to an invention to illustrate or something to label.

Also, both sets cover a variety of time periods from ancient to modern.

One thing you will notice is that on each page, I have chronological boxes, so that your child can either lightly shade in the box or check the box this famous person lived in. 

It helps when you are covering history in chronological order to be able to see where this person lived in the stream of time.

This way you can coordinate and plan your unit studies too with what I have on my website already.

So that area on the notebooking pages basically helps you in two ways. 

One, it helps you keep your history in chronological order when you do need to cover it that way and two, you can coordinate with the free units on my site.

I hope that all made sense.

Too, hopefully, these will help you to add to your history collection because it covers the more significant history makers in each time period instead of covering every history maker. 

As I say often, sometimes we just need the highlights of history and not every single famous person.

Strawberries are the first “fruits” of spring or are they a fruit? You’ll have to read to learn about them.

Back when we did our lapbook, we also took a field trip with our group to pick strawberries. 

Of course at the end of studying about strawberries, I made strawberry short cake.

It was the perfect ending to our fun, easy and quick unit study about strawberries.

Too, I have some helpful websites and free downloads that will help your child do the notebooking pages on his own.

These 22 famous Texans notebooking pages can be added to a unit study about Texas. You could use the Texans notebooking pages for a famous people study too.

I’ve created 11 Texans notebooking pages which have 2 Texans on each page so your child can notebook about 22 famous Texans.

In addition, I’ve created two sets of notebooking pages. The first set is editable and the second set has lines for handwriting. You decide best how to use them with your kids.

Some kids need more practice handwriting, other kids need to type. Again, it’s the same set with two different options. You get both options in the one download.

How to Teach Science Through A Story – Middle & High School

August 7, 2017 | 120 Comments
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

When you teach science through a story that is powerful. Using storytelling as a powerful teacher is not a new concept to homeschoolers. Also, look at my page homeschool middle school and how to homeschool high school page for more fun tips

Not only do we love reading stories but we understand their power to captivate and convince readers.

However, until I started using Beautiful Feet Books I wasn’t so confident that teaching science through a story or through biographies would benefit my kids all the way through to high school.

Using storytelling as a powerful teacher is not a new concept to homeschoolers. Not only do we love reading stories but we understand their power to captivate and convince readers. However, until I wasn’t so confident that teaching science through stories works for all ages of my kids. Click here to read 7 creative ways to teach older kids!

I stalked the mailman waiting for these books from Beautiful Feet Books. I was given this product free and I was compensated for my time. However, paid for my time does not mean paid off or that a company will receive a glowing review. I don’t roll that way. ALL opinions are my own and for sure I will always tell you what is on my mind. When I do accept a product it’s because I’m giddy to tell you about it. Read my full disclosure here. Now on to the fun stuff!

First, I need to back up and explain what curriculum we’ve been poring over.

For the past couple of months, it has been a delight to use the History of Science.

I knew it was geared toward the 3rd to 7th grade level.

But we were over the top excited to ditch the science textbook and learn the history of science through living literature.

Besides, science biographies can be used for older kids.

And when you have a guide any study can be fleshed out for older grades. It was a great guide.

History of Science Living Literature

In addition, I had already figured out that my worksheet approach, as academic and bookish as it sounds, didn’t work because my boys retained lessons better using a learn-by-doing approach.

Next, early on in my homeschooling journey, I had stumbled upon Early American History with my then first kindergartner.

After using it with him, I learned that other equally important elements which stir a child’s thinking are living literature and absorbing history through a story.

There has not been a more enriching way to teach him or my other sons to high school than a literature-based approach.

What I’m saying is that storytelling, learning-by-doing, and living literature are inextricably linked.

Using those same elements while teaching science are the same ones used in teaching the History of Science and used for teaching an older child.

7 Creative Ways to Adapt Curriculum for Older Homeschooled Kids

Learning how to adapt a multiple age curriculum for upper grades can be challenging, but look at some ways I did this with the features of History of Science.

They are the same tips I used with my sons all the way through middle school and into high school.

How to Teach Science Through A Story - Middle & High School
  • With a yearlong program geared toward 3rd to 7th grade, there is a lot of room to allow exploring topics in more depth. Using a yearlong program is key. Your time is valuable and by using a curriculum that is laid out for a year, you have more than enough ideas in place to use as a springboard for all the ages of kids you’re teaching.
  • Even though the biographies are geared toward a lower reading level, they are likable by an older child. Many essay points can be gleaned from each biography. For example, previous to studying this curriculum, we hadn’t researched much about George Washington Carver. Reading about this American Pioneer and his many uses of peanuts made for a fun rabbit trail or research project. Even though your younger kids can join in the project to list the many uses of peanuts, I had Tiny delve deeper into this since it piqued his interest. I required that he explain the history of the peanut. I had questions like what is the history of the peanut, why was Carver encouraging farmers during the American Civil War to break away from cultivating just cotton, and explain the growing process of the peanut. For example, he had to know that it wasn’t a peanut at all but a seed and understand that the boll weevil could devastate cotton crops.
  • Another fascinating point to glean from the History of Science is understanding and seeing science through the eyes of great scientists. We use this concept for history all the time. We want to learn history through the eyes of a character who lived in a particular time period. Learning science through biographies of Archimedes, Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Sir Isaac Newton, Marie Curie, George Washington Carver, Wright Brothers and Albert Einstein keeps kids equally inspired to learn about the wonders of science instead of dry, boring facts.
How to Teach Science Through A Story - Middle & High School
  • In addition, with many notebook pages, vocabulary words, and hands-on ideas the study guide is just that. It’s a springboard for you to use and add your own ideas. I really love how the guide is laid out because if it was totally scripted it’s hard to use that for older kids or younger kids. A guide on the other hand gives me a nudge or jump to another teaching concept that my son is interested in.
  • After I abandoned my wrong and stereotypical view that hands-on learning means no learning at all, I’ve been touting for years how hands-on learning needs to be used through to high school. The best books have been culled through and selected for easy hands-on activity that can be used for a variety of ages. Not only did we start our science portfolio notebook, but we did many hands-on learning activities like this one Day 4. Ancient Greece (Hands-on Science) 3 EASY Activities, ice cutting, and writing the Greek alphabet.
How to Teach Science Through A Story - Middle & High School
  • One more fun way to engage older kids through a story is to let them learn through a timeline. A timeline is a visual and natural way to learn. Kids can race ahead and place figures on a timeline while they read about scientific discoveries, events, and biographies. This is another key benefit to this curriculum. The timeline can stand on its own. It can be used completely separate. Instead of quickly placing the key events or scientists in order, challenge your older kids to learn about them before seeing the dates. Which significant event happened first, next and so on? Your middle school kids can memorize the events in order. It’ll give your kids foundational pegs as they fill in with more information with each time period.
  • Another tip that makes this curriculum especially useful to me is that it has scientists from different time periods. It’s organized into 3 parts that coincide with history, which are Ancient Scientists, Medieval & Renaissance Scientists, and Modern Scientists. I can easily add one section in depth this year and come back to this resource another year to focus on a different time period.
  • One last tip I do is to completely turn the teaching guide and everything over to my older kid. When you’re finished with the younger kids, let your middle or high school kid work through the lessons at their pace or at their will. For example, Tiny skipped all over the place when it came to reading and what interested him. That is such a liberating feeling for any learner and it’s the way to encourage independent learning. A lot of Beautiful Feet Books curriculum can be used that way, which is why I’ve been a user for a long time and couldn’t be more pleased.

The last thing I know you want to know about is whether it’s Christian or secular. I guess that depends on your definition of those two concepts.

It’s easier to tell you that it’s very friendly toward both type of views which I appreciate.

While it has some parts that ask your child to write a Bible verse, you can leave it, use it, or add your own. That part shows they support a Christian view.

However, their goal with their curriculum is to leave it up to you as the parent to add your worldview.

I can say it’s more easily done with this curriculum than many I use which saturate their curriculum with their Christian or secular worldview and makes it almost impossible to tweak.

If you’re wanting to use curriculum that teaches science through storytelling with a focus on hands-on learning by using a part unit study approach and part Charlotte Mason, you’ll love this curriculum like I do.

Read about the other curriculum I’ve used here at Early American and World History which is not available anymore and revamped, the Medieval History Sr. High levels and Medieval Intermediate Pack.

Free Art Notebooking Pack – Grade 1 (Other Grades too)

November 9, 2015 | 3 Comments
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

I have another set done of my free art notebooking pages.

I always have some long term project going on and this one turned out a bit longer with my move, but I have another set completed.

Artist Study Packet (1st grade) with 3 text - 1 sketch box

You know how I feel about art.  It is one of those subjects that should be enjoyed from K to gray.

So even though the free art curriculum guide at Concordia University Chicago – Art Lessons that I am following to create printables divides the art into grade levels, I did not create the art notebooking pages babyish.

Free Art Curriculum & Notebooking Pages

This way whatever the ages of your children are, they can use any grade level guide of their choosing along with the printables I created to have a complete art program for each year.

After all if you haven’t covered an artists or art work before, then does it matter which grade you do?

Besides, you can use the guide questions in the upper grade art if you want to cover some of lower grade art and visa versa.

I know the questions in the upper grade level hone in more on artistic design, composition and principles of design.  And though the lower grade guides provides the same framework, they do not do it as in depth.

Again, I hope this makes sense because you should be able to do any packet you choose by using the free curriculum guides from either an upper or lower grade depending on the ages of your children.

Keep in mind, that you need BOTH the free Curriculum Guide from Concordia University ALONG with my notebooking packets to have a complete art program for the year.

Today, the 1st grade set is ready.  Remember there are 8 grades now (use to be 7 Grades).

Grade 8 has been added since I started this project (yippee).

I have completed grades 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 and only have grades 2 and now 8 to do before I am completed.

If you cover one artist per month, then each grade level will take you one year.  So free art for a year!

One last thing I need to remind you of because I have some new faces here is that I also create TWO SETS of the SAME art notebooking page, but each set is slightly different.

I know, I know, I like things perfect to have options and I love for you to have them too.

Look below at the graphic I created to show how each set is slightly different.

One set has ALL text boxes in case you have a kid or two like I do that doesn’t want to sketch the art.

Especially at the high school level, my oldest son just wanted to make it more about art history.

So he wasn’t interest in sketching every piece.  He just wanted to read the background information about each artist, read about the artwork and move one.  Oh yes,  I used some of these packets for high school art credit.

The second set has ONE sketch box instead of the text box because then I have another kid who wants to sketch the art that we were learning about. Too, I keep the sketch box not too big so it doesn’t become a project to sigh about.

How to Use - Art Notebooking Pages 1

So the art is the SAME for both pages.  Too, this allows you to choose from either set depending on the time you have for that month. 

For example, one piece my sons may want to write, so I would print off that page.  The next art piece they would want to sketch so I would print off that page from the other set.

Give your child options and don’t think you have to use ALL the same pages from one set.  I mixed and match depending on the mood for the day or month.

I have a more pictures from each set to show you.  This is how the pages look from the set that has sketch boxes and

this is how the pages look from the set that has ALL text boxes.

Again, BOTH sets have the same art and are the same except for that one box.

Choices in any subject makes learning about it more enjoyable.  We don’t feel so hemmed in.

I hope you enjoy this next grade level, which is Grade 1 according to Concordia University AND be sure to download both packets so you can decide which set best suits your needs for each art piece.
