My3girls Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 My 9th grader hates The Medieval World with study guide and Great Courses, which we were using to go with her Biology text. :glare: She's ok with the Campbell and Reese text and study guide so we'll stick with it, but I am back to square one with history. She loves Shmoop and Crash Course so I think I am going to use those and then just make up my own reading list and pick out some documentaries. In the course description where I put resources, would you just include the reading list or would you list documentaries, too? What about Shmoop and Crash Course?

Janeway Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Our fail was the biology also. I had Science Shepherd with Great Courses also. He hated both. I admit, I did not like either. We have one of the Miller Levine books now and that is going well. Also, I was looking over ck12.org and Khanacademy and both look good too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.... Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 You're not alone. Week 5 and we've already wandered off from Ambleside Online onto a long rabbit trail from which we may never return... :glare: I would list documentaries, but I don't really know what I'm doing either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassia Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I am not happy with our English curriculum and am feeling pretty lost on what to do. I would list the documentaries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haiku Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I would not list Shmoop or Crash Course as a primary resource. I would list the books and that documentaries were used, but I wouldn't name the specific documentaries. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Great Courses biology may not be a good fit, but GC has some wonderful medieval history lectures by Daileader. Early Middle Ages, High Middle Ages, Late Middle Ages. Check your library. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
