I used All American History Vol. 1 this year for my 7th grader. He likes biographies, so we added many of those and several video supplements. For this age, it needs more directed writing assignments. The TM has some suggestions for further reading. The student activity book is more appropriate for a younger child.
We like MOH and switched to AAH to complete our history cycle before he begins high school. It has been a solid choice. We were both happy with it, and will be using Vol 2 next year. Unlike my younger kids who are doing Sonlight, my son using AAH finished everything early. (And he liked it.)
