Family History Rotation

I like the idea of having the entire family work together on content subjects, such as history and science. Each child can tackle the same subject, but at different levels.

Here is my proposed History rotation:

A Year:
Ancient World through the Middle Ages (ca. 5,000 BC - AD 1400)

B Year:
Middle Ages through American Founding (ca. AD 800- 1800)

C Year:
American Founding through WW I

D Year:
1900--Present

These divisions are flexible, and the overlap between periods is intentional--to allow us to plan each year's study according to our needs/interests, while still cycling through history in a generally chronological manner.
