Mommieeeee Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Hi, I may be teaching the world history class at our co-op. I would like something that can be taught in a 2 hour class, discussed, and whatever needs to be done in the "class time." Then about 2 hours of homework before they come back next week. Does anyone have any suggestions. I am looking for something that will stimulate...without going over their heads! Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in MN Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 In my mind, 9th graders would be wanting high school credit, so plans would be quite different than 8th? Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle in GA Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 My vote would be for either Speilvogel's The Human Odyssey, or BJU World History text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev in B'ville Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) World History: People and Nations this year (you can find it on Amazon or here). The supplements made it completely worthwhile. We used the Geography Activities supplement, the Building History Study Skills supplement, the Daily Quizzes supplement (which I used as worksheets to be completed using the book) and test forms. All of the supplements have answer keys which makes it that much easier to use. Each chapter (33 chapters) is divided into sections and the Daily Quizzes correspond to those sections. I let my ds use the daily quizzes as an open book worksheet (daily), and then use those as study guides for the test. There are chapter tests, unit tests, mid-year tests, and an end of book test. My son enjoyed it very much this year. HTH. Edited May 15, 2009 by Bev in B'ville found website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
