have come already.   Struggling with making American History easier to study,  I have went back to my shelves and found a history timeline book.  Divided into time periods, each opens with a summery for that era, with a chronology following.    There is more than enough information to pull from and hope that these highlights will be interestsing enough for my 11th grader to pick up on.  History, as we all know, is what we have to learn from.   Remembering so we can avoid repeating the same mistakes.    Alas, if you study it enough, we see a pattern throughout time that apparently others didn't learn this.  Same mistakes made, different time period.   Studying these relationships is a class in itself!
