History as central to an Holistic Education

I have said previously that we see History as the backbone of all our other studies, and since we wish to provide an holistic education (emphasising the "inter-connectedness" of all things) we would study all the subjects using "unit studies" based around History, to co-incide with our History programme.

A very useful resource for accomplishing this would be the book "Design-a-Study Guide to History PLUS" at $14 from the Elijah Co.

However, the more I think about this, and actually start planning to teach, the less I am convinced that doing things this way is going to work for us. We may try and do a little bit, but I think that some of the other subjects might suffer if we concentrate too heavily on History. I'll keep you up-dated!
