An easy, meaningful way to study historical figures in your homeschool!
History has always been about so much more than memorizing dates, names, and important events. Behind every major historical event were real people with families, dreams, struggles, accomplishments, and sometimes some pretty big mistakes!
One of the things I love about homeschooling is having the freedom to slow down and really get to know the people who helped shape history.
In our homeschool, we typically study one historical figure each month. Rather than simply reading a biography and moving on, the children spend time researching that person’s life, recording interesting facts, exploring the historical period, and learning about their accomplishments and challenges.
At the end of the month, they use the notes they’ve collected to write a biography report.
It’s a simple approach, but it helps them practice so many valuable skills along the way!
That’s part of what inspired me to create our new 35-Page Vintage Historical Biography Notebook, now available through Pollywog’s Place!
