MasterBooks America's Story 2 Curriculum Review and Supplements

[@krosario3322]

You may already know this, but Angela Odell has suggestions.for supplements on her website, listed by book. We will be using all 3 levels (again) for a high school American History credit next year, using her high school schedule which adds in videos and literature. We have used (and loved!) all books including World History.

@krosario3322 thank you for mentioning this! I had no idea she had her own website and there is extra materials for my son who will be going into the 9th grade next year.

Woah, never heard of the 3d maps and those look awesome! I'm going to add that to our list to explore next year

[@RockSimmer-gal4God]

I love how you included language arts into history!!! I expected who was books!!!

[@readingbliss2954]

I have watched this video a few times. You have such great energy and ideas! It looks like a lot of fun and thorough learning experience. I was wondering if you could do a video where you teach us how to do the history bowls? That sounds awesome!

[@SummerMeyers]

We are on America's Story 2 now...we love it! I need to start incorporating more Who Was books.

[@BB-nx5dj]

Thank you so much for this! I really appreciated how you showed the inside of the book and hearing which resources you supplemented with. One question I have is how old/what grade is your student? Thank you I will subscribe! :)

[@HomeschoolwithJen]

Thank you so much! We did this when my daughter was in 5th grade. Thank you, again. I'm so glad it was helpful.

[@HomeSweetHomeschoolLife]

You guys read a lot of Who Was books. I know that was fun.

[@ThisHomeschoolingAdventure]

The who was series are nice for quick facts.

[@HomeschoolwithJen]

Yes, they are! We love the Who Was books as a supplement. They are definitely one of our go-tos.

[@Jessiemadanat]

Please please make a video explaining your timeline I have no idea how to do it.

[@sarahgreen2411]

I'm planning on doing 3 this year. Would love to hear what you are adding of you could share!

[@HomeschoolwithJen]

Yeah! We are finishing up AS3 right now. I actually have a video on where/how I was planning to use supplements. Please note that this changed slightly throughout the course, but we did use a lot of these supplements. It's titled: Plan With Me // American History Planning // Resources and Material // Master Books America's Story. Please let me know if you have any questions. We love America's Story!!!!

[@driftingforward]

DO you have extra books rec for the vol 1? and 3?

[@HomeschoolwithJen]

I sure do! :) Check out the America's Story 1 review on my channel for what we did for AS 1 (MasterBooks America's Story 1 Curriculum Review, Tips, Supplements). There is also a Plan With Me for AS 3 (Plan With Me // American History Planning // Resources and Material // Master Books America's Story) that shows what I was planning to use (and am using) for AS 3. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

[@readingbliss2954]

I’m sorry if you already mentioned it, but what grade/age is your daughter when she did America’s story 1, 2, and now 3? Thank you for the review and allllll the supplements💜! Awesome!

[@HomeschoolwithJen]

I'm so glad this video was helpful! We started AS1 when my daughter entered 4th grade. She is getting ready to finish 5th grade and we should complete AS3 this summer.

[@readingbliss2954]

@@HomeschoolwithJen Thank you for getting back to me!

How do you use all the supplements and the reading of American History 2 . I am struggling using all my supplements? I get a great idea and get all these resources but feel stuck as how get the most out of everything ,especially with read alouds and the readings from the spin book. I guess my question is how do you schedule it all out that it isn't confusing repetitive information and still fun and engaging? Sorry if this is a lot to ask.

[@HomeschoolwithJen]

American History is my daughter's favorite subject, so it is very easy to incorporate a lot of materials into our days. We include the Who Was books in our morning basket and the historical fiction books into our read aloud time. We take 2 days to read each chapter in America's Story. If we have a fun project for that chapter, then we do it the rest of the week. If we don't then we continue with 2 days for the next chapter. Fridays are almost always reserved for fun songs on the Presidents, Mr. Betts, or another KZbin song that we are enjoying that go with the era that we are studying. We also do our timeline on Fridays as a review. I hope this helps!
