10 Ways to Teach History: Cook It

This post is part of my 10 Ways to Teach Prehistoric and Ancient History series, which is part of 10 Days of Tips for Homeschoolers, hosted by Living Life and Learning.

You’ve probably already figured out that I’m a big fan of combining tasks to accomplish more in less time. And that I’m also a big advocate for experiencing things firsthand when possible.

And what better way than to combine tasks to save time and learn in a firsthand way than by getting kids into the kitchen to cook historical recipes? Everybody has to eat anyway, right? So why not work together to learn, experience, and meet a basic life need all at once!

Here are a few great resources for history-based cooking that would go great with the Part 1 Units of Big Ideas through History:










Big Ideas through History has been a huge undertaking, and as such, it’s a work in progress.

But, that means a great deal for you!

Because, for a limited time, you can get the Complete Part 1 (Units 1-10) for the cost of the first 3 Units currently available.

The price of Part 1 will continue to go up as new Units are added, but anyone who buys the complete Part 1 now gets access to all 10 units as they are added (see the current publishing timeline).

The final price of the complete Part 1 will be $60 (a 20% savings off the individual prices) but you can get the first 3 units now, and access to units 4-10 later this year, for only $22, which is a savings of over 70% for Units 1-10.
