*I could not get my word program to label these charts vertically, so I printed it out, filled them in & scanned them.  You may have to print this as an 8x10 picture or save them, open a word program, insert a picture from file, insert the picture, size according to page format (my page format settings are .5 on everything), print!

I have posted recently pictures of layouts I have made for my homeschool planning section in my control journal (See Control Journal, Tab 1:  Teachers Manual) & now that I am moving up in the blog world I have discovered a way to share my documents.  Here is a link for the new layout I have created (I have monthly dividers, I print the weekly documents out 4-5x for each month & the daily documents 4x for each week.

I am new to the "file sharing world"  . . . I think I am having problems with the document files I have linked . . . so I am including a link for them as pictures.  To print them as images here are is my suggestion:

1.  You may have to print this as an 8x10 picture

2.  Save them, open a word program, insert picture from file, insert the picture, size according to page format (my page format settings are .5 on everything), print!

I love the chronological layout & commentary of Truthquest.  I love being able to see EVERYTHING & decide what to skip & know what I am skipping.  Having said that, I also love the Beautiful feet guides & books!  So we are going to use them both!  As if supplementing one guide isn't enough I am going to combine both the Primary & Intermediate guides with TQ AHFYS 1 & possibly TQ AOR 1.  What a challenge!  Here is what I am thinking:

TQ Section AHFYS 1	BF Primary	BF Intermediate
2c Leif	Lessons 1-10	Lessons 1-13, 17, 19, 21
2d Columbus	Lessons 11-20	Lessons 16, 18, 20, 22-26, 29
5a Jamestown	Lessons 24-30
5d Pocohontas	Lessons 21-24	Lessons 27-28
6 Pilgrims	Lessons 31-48
6 Pilgrims	Lessons 49-55	Lessons 35-51
6e William Bradford		Lessons 30-43
6f Squanto	Lessons 45-60
17a Colonial Life	Lesson 76, 79-85	Lesson 52
23 Slavery		Lessons 53-67
28b Northern Arena	Lessons 86-89
34 America at a Crossroad		Lessons 62-63
37a Paul Revere		Lessons 68-72
38d Declaration of Indep.	Lesson 110
39e Winter at Valley Forge	Lesson 77
45b George Washington George Washington's Breakfast	Lessons 70-74 Lesson 78	Lessons 73-86
45f Ben Franklin		Lessons 53-58
49 A Bumpy Beginning	Lessons 68-69	Lessons 86-88

The way I planning am we will not complete the entire BF guides this year.  Also, if using both BF guides realize they do not match up perfectly. 

I am on a yahoo group for homeschooler's that are using Truthquest History & a lot of questions about "how to plan" are asked.  So me, being the planner that I am, have decided to share!  Now there is a method to my maddness & I am not completely done so I will add another blog in the future, but here is what I have so far.  I can't take full credit for this -- I love the layout of Tapestry of Grace so I just tweaked it a bit. I will eventually post all the leg work I have done. 

I created this spread sheet for a weekly/yearly layout.  Truthquest has so much great resources & it is hard for me not want to do it all.  I used this spread sheet to list EVERYTHING I want to do in each area -- this doesn't mean I will use it all - I will just have it already laid out before me so when I get there I will know what my options are. 

Here is a little explanation:

1. Guide - I am debating b/t just using the AHFYS 1 & AOR 1 or just the AHFYS 1 alone. So I did this for combining
2. Unit -- The Main Topic
3. Sect -- The subtopic
4. Spines -- I have several of these (a homeschool store nearby closed & I got A LOT 50% off) so I just listed what I had & will choose from them as we get to it.
5. Supplements -- this is where I add in the BF or any other literature guides I have
6. Read Aloud -- any other books outside the guide that I want to read to all ages
7. LG -- Lower Grammar Independent reading
8. UG -- Upper Grammar Independent reading
9. Think Write
10. Co-op &/or Activities (I use this section to list books on audio & movies. -- We live WAY out in the country so when we do go to town we are in the car for at least an hour, so I include a lot of audio books to pass time away when we are in the car).

Here is what it looks like once I have scribbled on it:

Here is a daily layout I made:
