joyfulhomeschooler Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 What do you all think? Would this be too much overlap? Do they study basically the same thing? Some of the book choices are the same and I don't want to be redundant. Opinions needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3peasinapod Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I have not done ECC, but isn't it just an overview of cultures? SL B+C is ancient history through the fall of Rome. I should think there shouldn't be much, if any, overlap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyfulhomeschooler Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 I was referring more to the geography portion I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyfulhomeschooler Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Plus the overlap of certain books used. I can think of three... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samiam Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 We're using ECC now, too. I've doing heavy duty research for next year, for Ancients, and Sonlight is near the top of my list so far. As you know, ECC is world geography and cultural as it is now, there's very little history, only as it relates to a cultural signfigance. Sonlight B&C is world history, and as far as geography, it should pretty much only be covering the areas where the Bible is based, Egypt and Roman territory. There's a few books that overlap, but very minor to the overall programs. I wouldn't consider these to be similiar at all, in any way, on any point, in terms of content.

SnMomof7 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 SL B+C DOES cover a lot of geography, it's not only an overview of history, it's also an overview of world geography, so I'd keep that in mind :). We have SL B+C on the shelf for..whenever I'm ready to dig in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3peasinapod Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) The overview of world geography in Core B is minimal. In fact, it's so sporadic it is truly just an introduction. I don't think B+C has the same culture overview as B, only through Missionary Stories with the Millers and From Akebu to Zapotec. You barely skim the top of these regions. It is not like ECC at all. ECC is in depth, and B+C is not culturally in depth except related to the historical places. Not the same at all. If there are a few overlap books that you've already read, I would just trade those out for something that has been on the backburner possibly? I don't know how many books are overlap, but that wouldn't be an issue either. Just read the new book choice in place of the books you already read in the schedule.
