Does anyone know of an activity guide that goes with the time period (pre-revolutionary upto WWII). There are activities in the text, but they are not exactly what I like for hands on, as in making things. For those of you who have used this book or studied this time period how did you bring it to life. Thanks, Valerie

How about lots of living books for this period? Add in a timeline and mapwork? Go visit some of the historical sites?

Thanks Marilyn, We do the living books and timeline work, but we could and should add the mapwork.

Anyone have any arts/crafts ideas for this time period???? American Revolution upto WWII.

Thanks, Valerie

I haven't tried these but they look good. They are hands-on activities for different time periods. There are only a few right now but you could use the one on A. Rev. and early 19th century. Time Travelers
