My quick overview of the Biblioplan program:
Biblioplan is an outline of suggested readings in order to teach history
from the beginning to present time. There are five packages, each comes
3-hole punched so that you can put them in a binder. 1) Ancient History 2)
Medieval, Renaissance, and Reformation 3) America and the World 1600-1850 4)
America and the World 1850-2000 and 5) Comprehensive High School Supplement.
The Biblioplan lesson plans include reading outlines and booklists for
whatever time period you choose to study.
My thoughts on how it worked for us:
We began with the Ancient History study. I loved the fact that the
curriculum gave me the “history” books to read as well as the same time
periods for the Bible history. This really helped to tie the two together
in my mind as well as my children’s. However, the reading lists were quite
extensive and having kids who were too young to read much on their own I had
to do all of the reading with them. Also, we are a very “hands on” (crafty)
family and there were no activities suggested. We quickly began using the
Hands on Heritage series (Greece, Egypt, and Rome)
www.edupressinc.com These books provided wonderful crafts and activities
to keep the girls involved. I also spent a lot of time searching out
coloring pages that went along with each lesson so that the girls could
color while I read the history lesson.
My oldest did continue with the MUS program (old
version where grades 1-3 were in the same book) and did very well. I think
she would have done even better had I taken more time with each lesson, as
suggested by the author, to make sure she understood each concept before we
went on to something else.
My quick overview of the Biblioplan program:
This is a workbook based science program; you have hands on experiments
throughout the program but you record much of it on worksheets that fit
nicely into a binder.
My thoughts on how it worked for us:
My daughters loved this program as much as I did. It was a bit over their
heads much of the time, but the authors give good information on keeping
things simple for younger ones or expanding the research for older kids.
