Charlotte Mason emphasized the importance of studying history with charts and tables in order to see an entire century at a glance. The Century Journal is our attempt at putting th is Mason principle into a notebook insert. This is not intended to replace the Book of Centuries that Ms. Mason recommends, but rather a companion journal for some and a less intimidating starting place for others. When a date is mentioned, the student can easily jot down in the journal, then refer back to it for weekly entries in their Book of Centuries. My kids have a hard time thinking of a Book of Centuries entry on demand. Now with the Century Journal they can look back at the many notes they've kept throughout the week and choose one of those to sketch in their larger Book of Centuries. For my form 1 and 2 students, this is all they are using for now! In order to keep the notebook insert to a reasonable size, the first 6 millennia get a half page each, the first millennia BC gets a full page spread, and then each AD century gets a full page spread. Each page has horizontal lines for writing and very delicate vertical lines to mark the years. With the year listed in the margin, this makes it possible to find the block for an exact year. Show more
