SonshineLearner Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Hi Everyone :) Our co-op has done the first half of US History and there's talk about switching to another text or set-up of the U.S. material. We've used All American History, and the parents feel it switches around too much. We meet once a week and the students are in 7th/8th grade. Any great thoughts out there? ;) We are a Christian Co-op, but prefer to not use BJU or A Beka. I would be happy to have more "living books" than not. I'm pretty sure we don't want them to have to stretch too much, but a bit would be fine :) Thanks! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele B Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Have you checked out the recommendations on Memoria Press? They have a new(ish) section for American Studies. They have a Guerber text they use as well as a few other resources including an American geography program. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I haven't used it, but American the Beautiful from Notgrass is aimed at that age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSMom2One Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I haven't used it, but American the Beautiful from Notgrass is aimed at that age. I've checked around myself for U.S. History for my own dd for 8th grade and have decided to go with ATB. It looks like a great choice for this level of learning, especially since students go more in-depth later on in rhetoric stage. From what I've seen of ATB, it would be very doable for a co-op.
