Grade 6 History (Big Fat Notebook)

Notes:
*Most of the Ducksters pages have audio recordings at the bottom of the page, but not all. There are
also several that have videos either at the top of the page or at the bottom, so be sure to watch them
when they are available.
* Some of the Discovery Education videos have captions that play automatically, but they can be shut
off. The worksheet packets are generally called “Blackline Masters” and the answers are in the teacher’s
guides.
*If you child is overly sensitive, please preview all videos to be sure of appropriateness.
* I didn’t go super in depth with the wars covered because they will also be covered in world history,
and more in depth at the high school level. It would take too much time to cover everything.
* For day 120, look ahead and choose what videos to have your kids watch. If you plan on trying any of
the depression recipes, be sure to copy down the recipes and shop ahead of time.
* If your child will be upset by the content concerning the Japanese Internment Camps and the
Holocaust, please just skip them. I’m iffy on that myself, but also didn’t want to skim over that material.
* Use this as a guide and make it your own! If there are too many worksheets (most are multiple choice,
true and false, are online, and results can be printed for your records), then omit some of them. If your
child doesn’t care for a resource that I included, then skip those assignments.
* Curriculum Pathways is free to use, but you need to sign up in order to access the materials.
* The discussion questions are the book questions. I intended these questions to be discussed orally
rather than writing out the answers.
