Well, here it is! This one was a tough one to plan! There just wasn't as much out there for this semester so I created a lot of the extra sheets and such we will use myself (which isn't bad, just takes more time!) For those of you new to my blog, I participate in a Mystery of History co-op. I plan everyother semester and add activites, notesheets and such to enrich our study. This is a copy of the "syllabus" for our co-op. I hope some of you will be able to use it in your home or co-op to add to your study of this time period whether you use MOH or not.
Please comment and let me know if you plan on using some of the things (helps me justify all the time put into it!) If you do find any broken links or things where I have not given proper credit please let me know. I try to be careful and link to sites (or give the site name) so that you will know where the source for the documents are. Most of the ones I created are on box.net and I pdf'ed them so you should be able to open them, but again let me know if you have problems. ENJOY!
