Lisa Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I just came across this history program and it looks very interesting. Has anyone used this for junior high or senior high school? What do you like about it? Dislike about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle in GA Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 We used Truth Quest Rome a few year back. I LOVE the program. Pros: I love the idea of reading books to learn history! There are many options for reading selections and they are arranged by grade level. There are reading options for history AND literature The inclusion of Christian world view Cons: No tests..this is a con for me, because as much as I love history taught as a "story", there is also a place for memorizing some basic facts. I fixed this problem by creating a flashcard "game" on Roman kings, emperors,wars,etc. Then we reviewed them as we went along. And then, I pulled questions every so often from the pile and gave pop quizzes to keep my dc accountable. No schedules...they say you can get through two books a year, and I know I could sit down and hammer out a schedule, but I really don't want to! I wish they would do that for us. All in all, I love Truthquest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubledutymom Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hi, Did you give highschool credit for the transcript. If so, how did you assign credit? Thanks:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~blessedmom~ Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I am in the "what do I do for high school" quandry myself, and I'd love to hear more about TQ Age of Revolutions, too. I keep getting drawn to these, and I would love to see how others implemented them! :lurk5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhondabee Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 There is a thread here that has a bit about what I like and dislike about TQ. I've been using TQ with my 9th grader this year, and I really appreciate it more and more each week. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yolanda in Mass Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I've used it for years and absolutely love it! Check out the thread on WTM and join the TruthQuest Yahoo group to get more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yolanda in Mass Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hi,Did you give highschool credit for the transcript. If so, how did you assign credit? Thanks:001_smile: Yes, we did and do. I assign history credit although the kids did lots of writing and reading. Name of course depends on period just like any other history course, i.e., Renaissance/Reformation, Modern World History, etc. Is that what you mean by "how did I assign credit"?
