The Classic History Portfolios are designed for students ages 8, or 9 and up. The body of the Portfolio is divided into chapters of commonly studied historical time periods, cultures and civilizations. The Table of Contents provides a thorough reference index to work with, indicating topics covering: works of literature, important people, works of art and architecture, important places and events, plus advances in science and technology. The attractively formatted Portfolios contain an entirely unique system of "image boxes" and "text boxes" that support and showcase the student's work, whether hand or type written reports, graphs, diagrams, hand drawn images, photographs, or images accessed from the Internet. Black-line maps of the regions being studied are provided. Companion products are the Teacher's Guide, and Full Color Maps.
The History Portfolio Junior volumes are designed for students 5 to 8, or 9, years old. The Junior offers a gentle introduction to history and notebooking with plenty of games and puzzles, images to color, and as much or as little writing as is appropriate for each child. A Teacher's Guide and resource materials are provided in each book. The Juniors contain the same chapter titles in the same order as the Classic volumes. This way, older children using the Classic volumes and younger children using the Juniors can work side by side. For extra convenience, you may decide to purchase the Full Color Maps.
Created by a Homeschooling Mom
The Portfolio books are published by Barbara Shukin, a homeschooling mother of five, with ages ranging from 19 to 3. She has homeschooled since the beginning using the Charlotte Mason and
classical approaches. After receiving her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, she taught for several years at the college level, and was the director of a college art gallery. She teaches in small group settings, offering art classes for homeschoolers as well as participating in local co-ops.
You can reach her at home, to answer any questions, or to arrange for volume discounts for schools and co-ops, by email.
