LuvingLife Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 My parents want to purchase Notgrass History for me, and I would enjoy having a curriculum to work from instead of trying to create my own. So I researched online and found it to be a good in depth curriculum, but I just want to make sure it covers all the bases. Would this be a good curriculum to prepare me for college? I want to get a good understanding of everything, so any advice, tips are appreciated!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie in MN Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'm wondering whether you're planning to do World History or American? For Notgrass American, I have no experience but I've enjoyed Lori D.'s posts, like these: http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2587510#post2587510 http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2418806#post2418806 http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1775830#post1775830 For Notgrass World, we have used this at our house with MFW, and I feel like that's the only way I'd use Notgrass World at my house. World history just is too broad to cover in one book without reinforcing some areas, and I like the way that's done with MFW. So not a lot to share, but thought your post looked lonely :) Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvingLife Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 thanks Julie, maybe I will take a look at MFW, is there any way to find it cheaper? MFW is really expensive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in MN Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 thanks Julie, maybe I will take a look at MFW, is there any way to find it cheaper? MFW is really expensive... Remember that the cost includes 3 credits, or about half of your high school curriculum, so I'm not sure it's that bad, especially because you don't need to add things. But there are yahoo groups that specialize in reselling MFW materials: MFWCurriculumSwap (busy group, but strictly limited to official MFW recommendations & must follow the rule of starting your post with FS or WTB) MFWCurriculaSwap (not busy yet, but trying to include more things) And there are the WTM Swap Boards LOL Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your help Julie!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
