Ah, your post brought up so many fond memories of our homeschooling days. Lapbooking was just coming into its own about the time my youngest was nearing the end of high school, but I find that we did many similar activities along with our various unit studies.

I love keeping up with the newest and best in homeschooling trends, which is why your blog has been such a wonderful find for me!

You have made so many resources available ~ again! Thanks! My children really could picture the period better once they saw some films from this period. Flyboys made such a clear impression of the type of aircraft and fighting techniques. .-= Nadene´s last blog ..Remedial Games for b/d, p/q or t/f Reversals =-.

On behalf of all Canadians, thank you for sharing the link to the Canadian contribution to the war!

Rilla of Ingleside came to mind to me, too, when I read this post. Of course, it’s fiction, and it’s more about a teenage girl and her “coming of age” during this time period, but there are constant references to the war because of her brothers’ involvement.

I’m still trying to think of some other books that might work, but I’m drawing a blank.

Thanks for sharing! I like seeing where we might be in just a few years!

Jimmie,
I know that you used WinterPromise American History 1. Are you using WinterPromise American History 2 with Sprite? I know that WWI is one of the topics covered in American History 2. If you are using it (even loosely), how do you like it? I am thinking of using it next year because I already have it. Even though it is not geared for my oldest, I think I can easily “amp it up” a bit to make it more appropriate for her.

For anyone schooling boys--look at number 2 on the free printable templates list. 50 pages of materials on WWI aircraft! Scroll down to the very bottom of the page. There are three things to download. .-= Lee´s last blog ..Who is the book for? =-.

When we did WWI we did it along side literature and used Rilla of Ingleside (from the Anne of Green Gables series) It’s told from Anne and Gilbert’s youngest daughter, Rilla’s, perspective. A great read aloud.

Great post, and this looks so cool! While I love the stage my kids are at now, I have to admit I'm eagerly looking forward to them being where I can teach them history. .-= Ticia´s last blog ..Quick Mommy craft: Dave Ramsey wallet =-.

History is a favorite around my house. One story we read every year is about the Christmas Day truce during WWI. I have a book with a shorter version, but here is one link with what transpired:
