Week 22 Charters, Creeds, and
the English Civil War
Maryland, New York, Rhode Island, and Connecticut -
the colonists were growing in numbers and diversity. Students at all
levels will study the foundation
of new colonies springing up across the eastern seaboard this week.
Maintaining their dual focus, older students will also study the
English Civil War, and the resulting waves of diverse and opposing
colonists which profoundly affected the course of colonial
American history. As part of this week-plan, the older
students will also extend their study of Puritan culture. These
three week-plans don't come to a neat conclusion... it's just the
beginning of the New World adventure, in which God's hand is so
evident in the way he weaves the threads of Old World and New World
history together in the tapestry called HIStory.

Is
your typical week packed out? Are you
caring for a close relative with a prolonged illness? Does your
family make a priority of music or sports? This week,
we're focused on how to modify Tapestry overall to suit your season
of life. Our purple comments show you how to do Time-Saver Tapestry
-- because a busy schedule doesn't have to prevent a great education.
Got a job? A houseful? Either way, you might need Tapestry to serve
you as a guide to independent learning. No problem - just follow the
pink comments. If you want to print out the full week-plan,

Tapestry week-plan: Geared towards serving teachers who want simplicity or detail ... or both!
Support Products: Not just something extra to do -
Tapestry supplements can save you time!
Threads allow you to understand quickly what we suggest your
student take away from this week's study. You can make decisions
accordingly!
Reading Assignments are laid out so that a student can easily see what he should be reading - and the chart format makes it easy to separate crucial from extra!
Overview is yet another week-at-a-glance feature that makes learning just that much simpler for both teacher and student.
Writing is integrated directly into Tapestry, so you don't have to look elsewhere. It's all right here - and on subject matter that the student is already familiar with, each and every week!
Student Activity pages include questions and activities that enable your students to independently explore the material they're learning - but answers are found in the Teacher's Notes, so you never have to merely wonder whether they're getting it.
Pageant of Philosophy can be a treat for independent learners and students in a hurry! The dialogue format and gentle humor will keep many thoughtful students simultaneously entertained and educated.
Teacher's Notes enable you to have rich and meaningful discussions with even the most independent students with minimal preparation time. Read Teacher's Notes on a coffee break or keep them at the bedside, and you'll be well prepared to teach before you know it.

Map Aids means
no more hunting through atlases or altering other maps.
Find all the maps you need quickly and easily every week.
Writing Aids was created to be a perfect fit with the Tapestry writing program. A perfect fit means just that - no tweaking, adjusting, or searching to find teaching materials for the week's writing assignment. It's all provided for you in Writing Aids.
Lapbooks are a great study tool for young students to do with older siblings, or to explore with minimal supervision from you - but with tons of learning for them!
Evaluations can be used inside-out; open them at the beginning of the week to help identify main study points and obtain even more concrete learning objectives for your student.
Pop Quiz is perfect for busy families with dads (and moms!) in the car or on the go. Listen for just 15 minutes a week to get a broad overview of study topics, as well as thought-provoking interactions to engage your students' minds.
