6th-8th grade Archives - A Better Way to Homeschool

“Did you make that?”

“No very talented friend of mine asked me to look this over,”

“Wow!” His eyes were glued to my screen. Even though he needed to complete his technical writing assignment, I realized I had a captive audience.

I kept clicking as I paid attention to his body language in my peripheral vision.

He leaned closer.
“I didn’t know that.”

Closer
“What’s the world fair?”

CLOSER
“I thought George Washington did that!”

When we finished going through the presentation, he sat back.

I nudged his shoulder and said, “My friend is so talented. I told her people NEED to experience her creativity in a different way and that she should make presentations to go with her book and materials. What do you think?”

He got quiet.

“That was…
…I mean I think the ONLY word to describe it is …

BEAUTIFUL.”

👩Now I’m here to ask you…

💛 If you could captivate your kids attention as they explore history and biographies in a way that captures their attention and draws them into the the story.

💚 If you could simply open a browser and begin reading together and watch your kids lean CLOSER and closer to the screen.

💙 If you could watch history come ALIVE before your eyes…

Would you JUMP at the chance?

There is NOTHING else like these History Quicks out there.
👉Seriously.

I’ve been homeschooling for over 25 years and I’ve NEVER been so awestruck by a lesson.

You and your kids NEED to experience this.

If your kids aren’t CAPTIVATED, if you aren’t whispering WOW after 3 clicks of your mouse… I’ll eat my hat.

Raise your hand.
Seriously.
Right now.

My son?
He’s 16, brilliant, and talked quietly about that history quick for the rest of the night (in between completing his technical writing assignments).

CAPTIVATED.
That’s what we want our kids to be…
Captivated.

How to Bring History to LIFE for your Kids.

Warning. These lessons need to be experienced together. You can’t tell how incredible they are by looking at the product covers. You need to open them up on your screen.

Shh. Don’t tell your kids. Just grab it here. For heaven sakes, don’t tell them it’s for school.
Open up the presentation without any explanation.
Begin reading aloud.
As they draw near, watch them lean closer and closer and closer.

Important: The power of the History quick needs to be experienced on the screen. Open and be amazed!

Captivated.

Your kids will be captivated.

Then you can sprinkle in more…

EASY Craft and Vocabulary activities (Specifically pages 6-8, 11)
Extension Activities about Illinois (Specifically pages 8 and 35)
T-shirts for fun
Hands-on Building Projects
Lego Creations
You can even add in a CRAZY Fitness challenge!

–>But, it all starts here.

And suddenly your kids are leaning in, begging for more and LOVING history.

This style of teaching is slower. It’s easier to dive deep and learn more and more and more. Your kids will be “all in”.

It works like magic.

When your kids fall in love with the History Quicks, they’re gonna want more, and more and more. Bookmark this page.
