momof3treasures Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 How did you like it? Does it include biblical history? Could you compare it to Biblioplan? Pros? Cons? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monalisa Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I haven't used it, but bought the Middle Ages schedule and ended up returning it after a few days of previewing it. I am now using Biblioplan Middle Ages. Search on my name, and you can find a reply I wrote to someone this summer right after I looked through it. EC history looks very good and thorough, but you should be aware that it follows the Veritas Press history outline, and uses SOTW as a supplement, not vice versa. I wanted to use more of SOTW, which is why I'm using Biblioplan (though they also leave out a few chapters I think). Also, because the VP Middle Ages guide was written for 4th grade (at least) I felt like it was way too much for my 2nd grader. EC definitely includes biblical history, because you will be using the Veritas Press guides. I think EC would be a wonderful program to use, having it all scheduled and planned out for you, if you want to use VP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my2boysteacher Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Bumping an old thread.....would love to hear more about this curriculum. The sample seems very daunting, I see 4 chapters scheduled to be read on one day in the Early Modern Guide. :confused: Is most of the scheduled reading required or is it more "pick and choose"?

meet me in paris Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I started Easy Classical 4 weeks ago - we're doing NT Greece & Rome. So far... LOVE IT! I think the way the chapters are scheduled out are sort of arbitrary. As long as you get it done during that week, it should be fine. (In the NTG&R guide, I haven't seen any issues with huge chunks scheduled on one day.) I love that the literature, mapping, projects, outlining, etc. are all scheduled out, and I get a shopping list for any art projects coming up. For me, it was well worth the money - and cheaper than buying the Scholars plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meet me in paris Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 It depends on the day. Anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, I'd say. Art project days are on the longer side. For example, today we read the Timeline Card, did the VP questions (orally), did an oral narration, and read one chapter from CHOW (SOTW is actually scheduled, but I prefer CHOW so we substitute). Easy peasy, done in 20 minutes. Tomorrow will be longer since we have to do a project, so that will be a 1-hour day. hth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
