TOS Crew Review - Easy Classical - Early Modern History Schedule

Easy Classical's schedule for Early Modern History (Explorers to 1800) is an excellent resource for putting together a History curriculum for a full year's (36 weeks) worth of study. Based on Susan Wise Bauer's "A Well Trained Mind", the schedule strives to adhere to the Classical model of homeschooling, one that is a favorite of many.

Each week's schedule includes lesson plans for History, Writing, Geography, a Project, and Read-Alouds, all which tie in together for a nice Unit-Study feel. But, more than just a grid with lesson plans on it, included with the schedule is a list of recommended resources, supply and shopping lists, comprehension questions and quizzes for each week, drawing instruction pages, and activity ideas.

While I did not have the recommended resources available to actually try the schedule, by looking it over it seems like a very flexible yet thorough schedule. It looks easy to follow, very streamlined without a lot of visual clutter (an essential for someone like me, who gets confused easily if there's too much to look at), and of the resources that are recommended that I've seen or used before, I can say that they are excellent.

Overall, the schedule seems like a good fit for a family looking for a year-long History curriculum that is Classical in design and function, easy to use and follow, and hands-on, too! Many of the recommended resources can be found at local libraries, or purchased from various websites (see the list of Recommended Resources here). Be sure to check out the Sample Pages available to get an idea of whether or not Easy Classical's Early Modern History Schedule might be the perfect fit for your homeschool! A digital version is available for $29.99 and a notebook version is $35.95. Easy Classical also has many other schedules available, for history, science, and and even full curriculum for each grade year.
