Hi, all. It has been a long time since I have been on this board, but I hope you will still help me :001_smile: . I am using The History of the Ancient World to teach my son and one other young man (both 10th grade) in the upcoming school year. I have paired it History of the Ancient World: A Global Perspective by The Great Courses. I am using the Study & Teaching Guide for weekly assignments. I would like to add two projects or research paper assignments. I have searched the web for hours for ancient history project assignments and have found a lot geared at sixth grade. Could anyone sh

We live in Manassas, VA (First and Second Battles of Manassas) and we have been to the Manassas Battlefield and the Manassas Museum. This weekend is Civil War Weekend in Manassas but we are not going to any of the events. We also live in a suburb of Washington D.C. and have visited various museums and historical sites there. One of our favorites in VA, though, is the historica triangle: Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown. Over the years I have really tried to incorporate the nearby museum, historical sites, and fine arts opportunities into our schooling. It gets harder as they get older and

My son starts at George Mason U next week and I was surprised to find out that three of his classes don't require a textbook. His science teacher will be posting notes to Blackboard. Of the two classes that require a textbook, his math class will be an expensive text but he needs one book that is less than $45 new for English! He is paying for the textbooks so this is a huge relief for his wallet. Anybody else finding this pleasant surprise? Blessings, Cheryl

20th Century reader suggestions
Cheryl B in VA replied to 48820592's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
So I just posted this in another thread. Instead of sending you there I just cut and paste it. Well, here is the list of books that my 9th grader will be reading with world history this year. These are historical fiction and one autobiography. From the Christian Heroes Then and Now series: William Booth, Lottie Moon, Nate Saint, Eric Liddell, and Jacob Deshazer. The Call of the Wild The Story of Thomas Alva Edison (an easy read but keep in mind that I have a dyslexic, reluctant reader) Bully for You, Teddy Roosevelt The Yanks Are Coming Flight of the Fugitives The Winged Watchman K -

Must-reads, American History, "boy stuff"
Cheryl B in VA replied to stephanie's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
Do you want American lit books or just history readers? For what time period? I have three boys and my final one that is starting high school only reads what I assign to him. I agree with To Kill a Mockingbird and Old Man and the Sea although my other sons read those junior or senior years. We are studying the civil war and he is about to read Across Five Aprils.

Margie, I tell Parents that attend my workshops to convert outsourced grades to the grading scale they have chosen. So if the grading scale from the online instructor gives an A- for 90-92 but that is an A on your grading scale then put an A on your transcript. You can put a note on the transcript that all outsourced classes have been adapted to your grading scale. Cheryl

MFW year 3 users...
Cheryl B in VA replied to BakersDozen's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
I liked MFW English for 11 but was very disappointed with MFW English 12. The only thing that is scheduled is the speech unit. You get a little booklet about writing a research paper but it is not scheduled. I created a schedule for that. There is a list of suggested books and a "novel review" sheet. I selected a couple of books and used Progeny Press guides. I also scheduled a couple of movies and used Zezock guides. If you want to finish out BJU American history then you already have the books and you can schedule it yourself. Economics in a Box is already scheduled in the curriculum its -

Designing a History Course
Cheryl B in VA replied to nicurn's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
I suggest adding a PowerPoint project. This requires the same research skills as a term paper but requires different presentation skills. I require that the student do an oral presentation with the PowerPoint slide show. Blessings, Cheryl -
If he will eventually go to a 4 year school then, yes, he needs a transcript. Also, you never know when a transcript will be requested later on for another reason. In VA, if a student attends CC and receives an associates degree, then the student does not need ACT scores. The student is also guaranteed enrollment into state schools after receiving an Associates. (The schools do have GPA and course requirements, though.) Check to see if your CC has a guaranteed enrollment policy for transferring into four year schools. Because of your son's age, I would say any coursework done at this point

World History - 20th century
Cheryl B in VA replied to C_l_e_0..Q_c's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
Thanks for posting this links to past threads. I am putting together a 20th century study for my rising 9th grader. I did it with his older brother but will be changing it up a bit. Just ordered these two items from Rainbow Resource: The Twentieth Century World History Map Activities Blessings, Cheryl
