My seventh grade son is very interested in the two World Wars. I would like to let him do a unit study on them. Has anyone done this before or have any good ideas? Obviously, we will look at library books and dvd's, but I want him to learn from a Christian perspective and would appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!

I have not done this yet with my kids but have you looked into Hands of a Child lapbooks?

Also, this company has lapbooks.

Truthquest history has guides:

Winter Promise covers WW 1 and 2 and a lot more in this guide and it includes other subjects.

You can also Google WW1 unit study and find tons of links, same with WW2 unit study.
I have used lapbooks from both companies but my kids don't really like lapbooks and I really think of them as glorified textbooks, read, answer questions, but in a prettier way. lol
I have Truthquest books and like them but they mostly have lists of books with some Christian commentary but not a lot more.
I have WP and have thought of getting the one I linked to youbut we have another one I'm using from them right now and I really don't have the extra money to spend.

This book has activities to go along with reading:

but it's not a Christian resource and I know nothing about it.
HTH!!

I know one book that my sons LOVE is the Usborne World Wars book. It's not Christian, but I didn't really find anything objectionable in it, aside from one lady who needed a higher cut top so I made one with a Sharpie. :) But the info and pictures and maps are wonderful.

beautiful feet sr high books have all been really enjoyed by some at our house. mostly the albert marrin books.

Yep, same here.

Vision Forum also has some cool looking videos from a Christian POV.

Thank you so much for the ideas! I am excited to go look at them all! :)
