I updated the US History _ Explorers who Discovered America 1.doc file with the suggested changes. 
Thanks for your imput!
TABS in addition to all of THenâs great suggestions I just wanted to bring up a few points.
Are you trying to go chronologically through the bible or choose the most influential people first and then moving to less influential? What I would do is choose 10 magnitudes of intelligence moving from easiest/most accessible to children and then moving on to more complex. (i.e. roughly when they were born and died (maybe even they were born at the same time asâŚ(some other famous person)), where they were born, other important bible characters they were related to and how/why, important events they took part in, books of the bible they are mentioned in). Because each character is so different you might only come up with 5 consistent magnitudes and then fill in the remaining 5 with points you find interesting about that particular person. Hope that helps, let me know if I can be of more assistance.
Okay I just uploaded my file for this week. States (New Mexico to Ohio) with POIs. Here is the link: http://forum.brillkids.com/downloads/?sa=view;id=3657. Thanks, THen for your upload too.

Thank you linzy! :biggrin:

here are some
geography famous places in the world
http://forum.brillkids.com/downloads/?sa=view;id=3725
top 10 famous volcanos
Top_Ten_Countries_with_the_Largest_Population
I have a couple more⌠but havent uploaded all of them so I have to double check which ones have POIs⌠hope this helps though to get everyone started
I would love to do this too weekly⌠but need a couple weeks before I can get started⌠both kids are sick and my husband is off of work with a hairline fractured disk since Friday. (he cant pick up the kids and is in bed for a while) So I dont want to commite to something then not follow through but I would love to add some POIs and get some too :yes: Thanks.
No problem THen. I know how the time can sneak past. By the way I made a slide show using the software you suggested and it worked great. It looked like something youâd buy and I even added background music. Thanks again.
Mandi, weâd love to have you join us. What category would you be interested in? I saw your files, the geography from famous places had POIs but I didnât see them for the top ten most populous countries, was I missing something?
Yeah⌠I am back. I had some issues with my laptop. Now itâs all fixed and working. I have loaded 4 music files for all the weeks that I missed. Including this weeks file. Sorry for the delay.
Donât worry about it Heath it happens to everyone. Itâs good to see you back
Wow, heath, Iâm just impressed you got all that done, even with laptop problems.
:laugh:
Hi there everyone,
You guys are doing a great job!!!
Well, I am back to ask a few things. I have tried to do Bible Characters as POIâs but canât seem to get what I want. What do you think if I do them as BITâs? In this way there is no restriction on how many can be done and if the magnitudes are not followed exactly, it wonât matter so much. And those that prefer POIs could quickly compile from the Pronounciations, a list of 10 that they feel theyâd like to teach their child. Another reason - in fact the main reason really - for doing it this way, is because Iâd like to include for my son the scriptural referance for each bit of information. As everyone has their own translation of the Bible, I would not include this in the download but would give the references so that should you wish to, these could be read into the Picture Audio. Also I would not include pictures as everyone has their own Bible literature and am sure there must be places on the Internet where you could get Biblical pictures. I had thought too that the shorter facts could be used as sentences in their reading program, in that way they would recognise the names, Adam, Eve etc. Would love to hear your thoughts and comments.
TABS
Hi TABS!
Personally, I would be happy with anything you put together. If you do put audio (or pictures) in for your son, I would like it, even if it is in a different translation. I can always edit it if I want to. Whatever you choose to do, Iâll be greatful for you sharing. :yes:
I think most of us have been doing printable POIs, so weâve not worried about audio.
Yay! I got one done this week.
Once it is approved, it will be here:
http://forum.brillkids.com/downloads/?sa=view;id=3876
It is on âPeople Who Helped Settle America 1â
Here is my file for this week. Sorry I missed last week but I have been sick. I had to upload it as two files because of the size.
The first one is Tennessee to Utah:
http://forum.brillkids.com/downloads/?sa=view;id=4070
The second is Vermont to Virginia:
http://forum.brillkids.com/downloads/?sa=view;id=4071
With next weekâs files I should have completed all of the states.
Aaaargh, my computer is down. I think it is going to take me a little while before I can post my next set. Iâll also have limited access to the internet, so I wonât get to see whatâs going on here at Brill.
Hope Iâll be back soon. :yes:
Hi there,
Well here is my first attempt at doing this sort of thing. Would appreciate any suggestions or ideas.
I have not included any pictures or the actual Bible verses that support the facts. Here is a website that you can download the Bible from. http://www.jw.org/index.html?option=QrYQZRQVNlVlYR It is in modern English and read very well by a man. Perhaps others know of other sites where you could get other translations from. You could insert the verses or just let your child listen to the chapters that cover the information.

This was originally in a table and looked alot better and easier to follow. If you wanted to print it, perhaps you could copy and paste into Word and then convert text into a table.
The fact number and voice audio match so this will make it easier to make up your own playlists or convert into a POI.
I had fun making it up and hope someone benifits from it.
TABS
Thanks TABS. I downloaded the LR file and liked it a lot!
My computer was down for a while, but now it is back up. However, I lost some files, so Iâm working on them again. Thank the Lord for the files I uploaded to the forum. I hope to have part 2 of the Settlers of America done by Sat. Then, Iâm hoping to work on the books of the Bible for a while.
