2 ♦ Section Two ♦ Week 1 ♦ One-Year Condensed American History

Week 1—Notes

History/GeographyTimelines

Throughout the year, we provide timeline suggestions from your assigned reading in your History books, Read-ers, and Read-Alouds. These suggestions are provided weekly in your Study Guide or on the Timeline Figures Schedule.

NOTE to Mom or Dad: Timelines suggestions are marked with a d symbol and can be found on the Timeline Figure Schedule or in the Study Guides. Those timeline suggestions preceded by a d symbol have an accompa-nying figure in the Sonlight Timeline Figure packet.

You should either use the timeline sold by Sonlight Curriculum, or make a timeline for the wall of your room using 8½" × 11" paper (taped sideways, end to end), one inch for every 100 years or so.

Timelines are helpful because not every book you read will be in chronological order. When you read them and mark dates on your timeline, you are better able to under-stand how events fit together: which things occurred at the same time, which things came first, and which things came later.

You may wish to use the figures we sell, or cut out a number of “people” from card stock or construction paper. Draw clothes on them to look like the characters you are studying, and paste them on the timeline in the right place.

Some people prefer a less graphic approach and simply use color markers, pens, and pencils to write on their time-line the names and dates of significant events, persons, etc.

Whatever method you use, we believe your sense of history will be enhanced if you maintain this discipline throughout the year.

Markable Map

Sonlight’s geography program weaves throughout the year with assignments from almost every book you study. It is designed to demonstrate to your students the impor-tance of map skills while enhancing the learning adven-ture. We provide map suggestions from the assigned read-ing in the History, Readers, and Read-Aloud Guides. Look for the symbol on the schedule page. This will alert you

to a map assignment at the beginning of that day’s Study Guide notes. Use the key in the Study Guide (see sample below) to find each location on the map(s) following each book’s Study Guide. Then your children can note each location on your Markable Map using a washable pen. (We recommend Vis-a-Vis® pens. If you should accidentally use a non-washable marker, rubbing alcohol can remove those errant marks.)

If you want your children to receive even more practice with maps, consider this idea shared by one of our Son-light Forums users: Replace your tablecloth with a map! Cover it with a sheet of clear vinyl (available at fabric stores). Then, while your children are eating, watch in won-der as they look at the map over and over again, reading all the words, asking questions, and learning all about the map. As a bonus, spills wipe up easily from the vinyl!

Study GuidesAdditional instructional information for each book

is located in the corresponding subject’s Study Guide: History, Reader, and Read-Aloud. Study sections ordered alphabetically by book title.

Prayer for the Native Americans

Mark the locations of the North American Indian tribes on the U.S. side of the map.

The Prayers for Native Americans section is divided into one tribe, civilization, or cluster of tribes per week. These could be good family reading at meals or bedtime. Check off each day as you read and pray.

Assignment for Mom or Dad

Please read “Why You Will Find Contradictions in History” and “Concerning My Apparent Preoccupation with Slavery and the Civil War in the United States” in the History Study Guide. n

One-Year Condensed American History ♦ History Study Guide ♦ Pedro's Journal ♦ 61

Pedro's Journal

Suggested Learning ObjectivesAugust 3–August 27The ships’ names were the Niña, Pinta, and Santa María.

Columbus’ plan was to sail west to the Indies.

In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

Timeline and Map Activitiesd Columbus (1451–1506) discovers the new world

(1492)

September 3–September 21The ships took provisions for twenty-eight days.

The ships lost sight of land.

The ships ran into thick seaweed; they must push through it.

September 25–October 5Columbus stifled mutiny in several ways: he threatened some men, bribed others, and boasted that they had been out of sight of land for three weeks — a new record!

October 7–October 11When they had been out of sight of land for 30 days (dou-ble the former record). Columbus promised that if they saw no land within a day and a night, the sailors could cut off his head and sail home.

After seeing signs of nearby land all day (flocks of birds, reeds and plants, manmade carvings), Columbus spotted fire in the night — land!

October 12–November 6Columbus claimed the land for Spain and called it San Salvador.

The friendly island people thought the sailors were angels from God.

Columbus saw a gold plug in a man’s nose with Japanese writing on it.

The crew tried tobaccos.

Timeline and Map ActivitiesSan Salvador Q (map 2)

November 19–December 13Natives are kidnapped to bring to Spain.

The Pinta sailed away.

Columbus demonstrated the power of his weapons to the island people.

The crew grumbled because the trip was a failure — they did not reach the Indies — and they would only bring back to Spain “rough cotton thread, a few rustic spears,” and some captives.

December 16–January 2The Santa María sank, punctured by a coral reef.

Columbus left several men to start a settlement, named La Navidad, meaning “Christmas.”

January 8–January 16The Pinta returned and Columbus had another ship with which to sail home.

Columbus and men drew swords on unfriendly islanders and then hurriedly left for Spain in leaky ships.

January 28–endColumbus planned another voyage while still on his first one.

Trace Columbus’ route from Spain to the Caribbean.
