What is Involved in Timeline Building?
Timeline Building Offers Students a Chance to
Get to Know the Flow of History through TimeTimeline building offers students a chance to get to know the flow of history by recording dates and events into a timeline book. Students write in their timeline book as they learn key events and their significance in their main program. They can also write in dates important to them personally, such as family events or things they learn in their own reading time.
"Old World Style" Timelines in History | #TIME | $24
WinterPromise offers you a unique timeline resource, our “Timelines in History.” It is copied on
heavy duty cardstock and should last a student throughout their school years. Each student usually enjoys having his own, as it is a personal journal in which they can record any information they’d like. Our timeline differs from other similar resources in two key ways that help you with introducing “notebooking” into your studies. First, each page doesn’t just contain endless rows of meaningless numbers; instead, on each page are beautiful illustrated banners and 2-3 descriptors of major movements, civilizations or events in history. From the “Middle Kingdom of Egypt” or “The Age of Exploration” to “The Industrial Revolution,” these descriptors aid your student in true understanding of how history flows and relates to real events.
The second distinctive feature is its loose-leaf nature; it is three-hole punched and copied on only one side. This feature provides a blank spread in between each date spread. This means your student can file “Make-Your-Own” history pages, artwork, reports and more in between their timeline pages. Year after year, they’ll collect “Make-Your-Own” pages and their own work in this one resource. They’ll literally “Make-Their-Own” history book that will serve as a scrapbook of homeschool memories they’ll never want to part with.Add Timeline Figures
Choose an Option that’s Right for You!Timeline figures are a fun way to add to the color and flavor of a timeline book. Students cut out and paste the figures into their own “Timelines in History.” This year we’re offering you two choices for your Timeline figures: WinterPromise’s own colored timeline figures are available for some sets, and we also have larger sets created by Homeschool in the Woods. With each of our history-based studies, we also provide a week-by-week schedule that tells you when to use each figure (no matter which one you purchase).

Maps for Mapping Projects
Choose an Option that’s Right for You!As you create your “Make-Your-Own” History book, you’ll want to include maps of the places and events you’re studying. WinterPromise guides include instructions for completing maps starting with American Story 1.
We offer several map options brought to you by Homeschool in the Woods. These incredibly beautiful maps are perfect for recording what you’ve learned. Why? First of all, they resemble antique maps, so they will create a cohesive, beautiful look as you add maps to your notebook. These amazing maps are fully reproducible, no matter which format you purchase, so you’ll be able to create maps for your entire family. Plus, you’ll also be able to create multiple maps of each region, so if you want to show early Greek city-states on the Ancient Rome map, you can use another copy to map out Alexander the Great’s conquests, and still another for Paul’s missionary journeys.
Next, any copies you make can be hole-punched to insert into your “Timelines in History” resource, and for use with your “Make-Your-Own” History pages. You also have the freedom to print or copy them onto different colors for different regions, if you’d like, or on heavier cardstock papers for durability. You could also get them copied in larger sizes for a regional study, or laminate them for a write-on/wipe-off study tool.
Finally, you have so many options. The CDs offer you a plethora of choices and the ability to print as many as you want for your family; they also include some notebooking pages to supplement your studies. The hardcopy set may be easier for some parents to use and still offers a good selection of maps.

Atlas of World History | #WH-ATL | $45
NECESSARY FOR SEVERAL PROGRAMS
With WinterPromise, each year’s program has mapping assignments. From about the fourth grade on up, and especially for high school, these mapping assignments require the use of a good world history atlas. A world history atlas has maps that are both historical (i.e., Asia during the rise of the Mongols), and topical (i.e., showing the spread of Islam or the rise of European commercial empires). This atlas provides a wealth of maps -- 450 of them -- and is divided into five sections: The Ancient World, the Medieval World, the Early Modern World, the Age of Revolutions, and the Twentieth Century. Each section opens with an introduction that highlights the main themes of the period, while text explains each of the maps and puts them in historical context. At over 300 pages, this atlas is comprehensive. Its colored maps are easy to read and international in nature. This book will be a valuable part of your family’s library and aid their schoolwork for years to come. The maps in this resource are referenced in our “Quest” world history series, Adventures in the Sea and Sky and our American Crossing and American Culture programs.
Draw Your World | #DRAW | $19 Learn world geography by drawing the continents with memory tools that help students get acquainted with the countries of the world and recall where to place the continent on latitude and longitude lines. Practical suggestions allow students to practice in small steps and gain mastery of drawing the continents with their country boundaries. This stand-alone resource can be used over the course of a year or several years for grades 3-12. Recommended for “Children Around the World.” Consumable.
National Geographic Student Atlas | #ATL | $13 One of the highlights of this atlas is its beautiful digital pictures of continents from above the world. Showing different regions and major landforms, it gives you a birds-eye view of the globe. In addition, geographic and political maps are clear and well-labeled for every part of the world, and introductory material helps students with concepts important to understanding maps. We recommend this for use with any younger history program, but especially for “Children Around the World.” This atlas is NOT included in that package, so that parents who already own an atlas do not need to re-purchase.
