mbrady Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'm considering using Human Odyssey for my 7th grader. I only have the textbook. I have read that the teacher guide is mostly busy work, and I haven't seen it for sale on amazon in a while. How do you do HO? I was thinking of having her outline it, which I'm sure would become very boring and tedious very quickly. I wish I had review/ test questions just to reinforce what she has read. Any ideas? Thanks!

Mom in High Heels Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 We're using it with History Odyssey (ancients level 2) next year. Someone on here, whose name I can't remember off the top of my head, sent me a schedule that matched Hum Od up with Hist Od. I've done a bit of tweaking still, but it looks pretty good so far.

NittanyJen Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 We also use it as additional reading for History Odyssey. My son finds it very readable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maisy Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 We are using it in combination with Critical Thinking Company's History Detective, two Jackdaws, a map program, some art history study, and several related biographies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fractalgal Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Thanks to other suggestions in a previous post, I'm planning to use Mapping the World with Art along with Human Odyssey Ancients and a timeline. I still haven't decided whether to purchase the Human Odyssey student or teacher pages yet. If I don't, I plan to use the ideas that SWB suggests (outlining and Level I-III Outlines). I don't want history to take overwhelming long though, so I'm still refining my plans. :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you could incorporate them, but it wouldn't be as complete. Just my two cents. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anna~ Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 We are planning on reading and outlining the text, using supplementary books on different civilizations from the library, reading historical fiction, and doing a timeline and map work. I didn't even know there were teacher and student pages, but even so I don't think I would use those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer not to use the teacher/student pages, but also don't want to miss something important. With our previous history progams, we have been happy with outlines and summaries along with individual interest research papers. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 We do history as laid out in TWTM. I use Human Odyssey for reading/writing as well as outlining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Use it with History Detective. I like to add in videos too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCB Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I've been thinking of using it with Creek Edge task cards. Has anyone else done this? I was thinking that this would be a way of coming up with the projects etc to do with the HO book. I have bought the textbook but not the student pages etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maisy Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Maisy, Do you have a schedule for this? Thanks, Nadia Nadia, I have made out a schedule (have no idea if it'll work in actuality :lol:). But you are welcome to it. PM me and I can email it to you. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
