Official Start of US History Blogging Assignments for Home School Students
Posted By Jacque on September 8, 2009
Because our family loves history, and because using blogging is an easy way to write and complete home school assignments, we have created a history site of our own: States and Countries Exploration.
If you are interested in joining us or using the assignments in your own home school, you will want to go to the page for more information.
The US History Assignments 2009 will be posted each Monday at this site. I posted the first assignment of our four months of state history assignments yesterday: My State History Assignment 1: Introductions. The assignments will be due on the following Friday to be postedo n personal blogs, more details below.
For this part of our history study, I have signed up Rachel, 15, Eric, 12, and Hannah, 9. They will all be doing research on our state and writing up their posts on their personal blogs. We will be starting out learning about our own state history, and then move on to other history assignments. The great thing about having an open public website like this is that you and your children can also join us if you wish.
Our Littles will certainly also want to get in our IN state history study, but because they are not yet ready to be on the computers – (ok, MOMMY is not yet ready to moderate more children who blog!) – I will be making up photo copies of worksheets and diagrams that they can learn what the others are learning. I have not yet decided if I will put them into a lapbook or go ahead and start a 3-ring binder for them for their assignments.
The US History Assignments will be posted online, and can be tailored to whatever state you choose. Upon completion, the assignments will be posted on individual blogs (or you could use it at home in a notebook or lapbook if you choose to join us in that manner!). Each week a new assignment will be posted for the student to research on their own and post on their blog. They can participate at the States History blog by leaving a link to their posted assignments.

We’re blogging to learn this year, too. However, we’ve had a hard time getting to it because it is the “fluff” in our schedule – the fun stuff – and we’re having a day just trying to get the basics done with baby in the house! You have had more practice at this than me.
What is going on with Robin??? Please update me!!!
