No. I made my 8 year old stay up late and study the battle of Stamford Bridge, then write me a couple of sentences on it. No particular reason other than thinking he would like reading about a lone viking holding a bridge against an army and because I wanted him to learn how to provide sources. I'm planning on making him do this with a couple of different subjects that he can find easily online or in my library so that he grasps the concept of where the information comes from and how to basically cite a source, then let him pick a historical subject to study himself and write a short paper on for his homeschool history project.
