TOG users what is the Alt Textbook for Y3?


Recommended Posts

We are finishing up Y2 and dd likes the Western Civ textbook better than the primary resources this year. It looks like she would prefer to use a textbook next year. Dd thinks she would like to use BJU, just read a chapter and take a test.

 

Since I would still like to do TOG or at least history ala WTM, I was wondering what text TOG uses for Y3.

 

Thanks for your help.

My Year 3 is the 2003 version, not the newest edition. So the alternates may have changed. In mine, there are four listed:

 

Dialectic/Rhetoric:

 

 

  • BJU - World History for Christian Schools, Second Edition (1993)
  • BJU - United States History for Christian Schools, Second Edition (1994)

 

Rhetoric:

 

 

  • Spielvogel - Western Civilization, Fourth Edition, Comprehensive Volume (2000)
  • Christian Liberty Press - Streams of Civilization, Volume 2, Second Printing (1995)

From the Lampstand Bookshelf site, the list of rhetoric alternate history resources is here:

There isn't a textbook-type spine listed for Y3. There is a strong emphasis that year on American History and the presidents, so the only book listed for multiple weeks in the rhetoric level is The American Presidency by Brinkley and Dyer; in the dialectic level, both Our Island Story and This Country of Ours by H.E. Marshall are listed. I thought I used a textbook alternate resource last year with my then 7th and 9th grade kids, but I guess I did not.

 

HTH.
