Jess4879 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I am planning for next year and will have a 12 year old and a 9 year old combined for History. Give me ideas on what to use, please! We have used SOTW & MOH in the past. Looking for something new. I need easy to use and don't want to have to buy or borrow a ton of extra books in order for the course to be complete.

We are in Canada and haven't covered a ton of US history at this point, so this might be a great way to do a bit of it all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borninthesouth Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 For US History I have enjoyed reading biographies. It has been a great way to learn about big figures in history and what was happening at that time. I have used "Who is..." or "What was..." books also along the way. My kids have loved this. They don't take tests, but when asked about history they know so much. I love history though and read and study it, so that may help in knowing what to study. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One really nice feature is the option to order as a download; you would eliminate shipping costs to Canada. (That wouldn't apply to the board game, which is a bummer, but the games each year are optional anyway). The audio presentations and all age levels of Student Explorer pages are included and are downloads anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could deal with it on PDF if I wasn't using it all the time. I'd probably want to print and bind the book of stories though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaredluvsjoanie Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Yes, the course book is necessary for every lesson. If you chose to use it as a PDF rather than printing, it would be very easy to do. A printed copy is very handy though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
