    If a guide says to read World History 2 times a week and American History 2 times a week how do you schedule it in the online organizer?

    A logical way would be to have WH on Mon & Wed and AH on Tues & Thurs but how does that work if the guide doesn’t have days assigned?  How would you make it work in the online organizer?

     

    Thanks!

    Well, for Module 5 & 6 (which has the World History and American History) I think you can just pick which days you want to do them.

     

    What I did with module 2, was schedule everything each day, then just click on the little triangle to “minimize” the resources we didn’t use according to the guide for our to-do-list.  That way I could easily just follow the guide even if we missed a day or something.

    Thank you. What if a child is reading the list for themselves and you are not there to minimize it? Any other way you can think of?

     

    I’m just trying to wrap my mind around it all. 🙂

    Tammy, if you look at the lesson plans themselves in the guide, they should follow a pattern. For example, the Modern Times handbook has it set up like this:

    Days 1 and 2 – American History

    Day 3 – Geography and Bible

    Days 4 and 5 – World History

    So if you do school on M-F, you could set up American History for M and T, Geography and Bible for W, and World History for Th and F.

    Does that help?

    Thank you Sonya. I guess that would be the difference in using the hand book vs. not.  Sounds like using the handbook would be a bit more structured as to which days I would schedule what. I’ve been debating about which way to go with that. On one hand I like having it all layed out for me, but on the other hand….:)

    Well, if you aren’t using the guide – I’d still space it out about the same way….

    Suzukimom – You think so?  I guess it might be good to keep the same history a couple days in a row.  Is that your reasoning?

    It might depend on the child, but yes, I think it would be nice to keep the same history a couple of days in a row…..   basically I’d just pick what you think would work out….

    You might do: (h is thursday)

    1)  American MT, Geography W, World HF  or something similar

    or something like

    2) American MW, World TH, Geography F

    or

    3) American MH, Geography, World TF

    or any other variation!   I’d just pick something and try it out.
