History on Horseback Vol. 1 Activity Guide

2020 September 25

I struggled with the creation of this guide. Not for a lack of interest or information. My goal in the History on Horseback series is to make history come alive and to spark an interest in students to study further. I homeschooled for 17 years. I know what it's like when even the parent dreads facing another day of a curriculum that's become so much work it's turned into drudgery. That's the last thing I wanted this to be. I hope this Activity Guide encourages creativity. I've given ideas and thought-provoking questions. Pick and choose what interests your students and have them present it in a creative way. I look forward to seeing samples of what students create.
