Ideas on how to use the SOTW CDs

[sagira]

Hi:

My wonderful dh bought me the SOTW 1 CDs at a conference we attended. It was completely unexpected, and I'm happy. How do you incorporate them into your studies?

Here's my (rough) plan for next year:

Day 1 I read aloud SOTW chapter and ds provides a short narration
Day 2 Mapwork and small activity
Day 3 Book of the Centuries
Day 4 Supplemental reading

In the afternoons or weekend, Daddy is going to help (yes, going to -- he doesn't have a choice -- haha :D) with the more hands-on projects (I am definitely not a hands-on kind of woman).

So where do I fit in the CDs? Or is it something more poetic like "play CD while he's doing map work" or more practical like "play it in the car while you're running errands and driving kids to and fro"?

Shower me with ideas, please! :bigear:

Thanks!

do a note card, map work. discussion questions and SOTW test everyday for each chapter.

Mostly I keep the cds in the car and let them listen to the chapters we are working on, review of the one we just did, the current one we are working on and the one coming up. Sometimes we use them while doing map work, but since I do book 3 with dd and book 1 with ds, I typically tend to read on the couch with one child, while the other does the coloring page etc. I really enjoy them in the car (and more importantly so do my kids!).
