Early Modern and Epistles Module and Family Enrichment Study

Hi, Nivia. Any of the Enrichment Year ideas can be paired with any of the history studies. Don’t worry about trying to match up everything to be coordinated with time period. In fact, variety is good! As long as you’re faithful to enter everybody (artists, poets, composers, etc.) in your Book of Centuries, the children will make their own personal connections.

An alternate would be, if you really want to try to coordinate everything, you could check the individual lists of artists and composers to see which ones fall in the 1550–1850 time period (what the Early Modern study covers).

Hope this helps!

Nivia, You can find some wonderful films to go along with the Regency period, too, which would be a way for your daughter (and you!) to see the dress of the period, as well as hear some of the music, depending on which films you choose. I think any of the films made from Jane Austen novels have at least one dancing scene with wonderful music, lovely costumes, and examples of the manners, customs, and social expectations of the period. Of course, that’s only one angle on the world of the Regency period, but you could throw in some of Charles’ Dickens novels and films to get a grittier viewpoint.

Just some thoughts! I was like you with history in school; I sensed that I should be interested but the way it was taught was anything but interesting.
