My Favorite History Books and How to Use Them
Friday, 7 February, 2025
Charlotte Mason used a lot of "living" books to teach history. It makes sense since she considered it the "pivot" upon which her whole curriculum turned. So, which books did she recommend? And how did she use them? What purpose did they serve? In this video I discuss the different books that Charlotte used in her schools and how to use them, as well as my family's favorite living history books!A SPINE is an overview of a historical period. It could be 10 years or 100 years. The main purpose is to give a birds-eye view of that period. A BIOGRAPHY was used to focus on a person, from birth to death. It could be a famous person (like an inventor, musician, or politician) or a common person. The point is for kids to form an relationship with a person from that time period and step into their shoes for a time. I like to also use "biographies" of buildings as well (I show you some of my favorites in the video). A HISTORICAL FICTION helps kids jump into that time period by capturing their imagination through story. Historical fictions add details where we don't have any. The help bring everything together. These are the true living books of history. They can be written in recent years (like Prairie Lotus) or written about that time period during that time period (like Little Women).
