Enjoying Trisms History Makers

by Katrina

Product: Trisms History Makers

Subject: Overview of history with focus on Scientists, Explorers, and Inventions.

Levels Used: 6th and 8th grade

Dates Used: 2008

Likes: I like that Trisms incorporates history, literature, writing, and geography into one subject. Trisms is research based so we can use materials we already own at home plus supplement with what we find at the library. Since I like to include both children whenever I can, it's very easy for me to modify the program for my younger child.

Dislikes: There are generic questionnaires for each subject (scientist, inventions, explorers). We found the questionnaires to be a little "restrictive" so we modified how we record the information we find. Just like all homeschool programs, sometimes you need to tweak things to make them work for your family.
