Mommy2BeautifulGirls Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Our co-op is trying to gather some information for history programs for 7th/8th grade. My oldest is only in 4th, so without having a need to look into it before now, I'm not really sure what is out there to fit this category. Can you give me some ideas of good programs to begin my research? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shindig Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 We're part of a real history co-op this year for the first time, and we're using Year 4 of Tapestry of Grace which covers the 20th century. We're excited to start next week! Upper grammar students will work on lapbooks, group activities, and mapwork, while the dialectic students will focus on the discussion of "Accountability and Thinking" questions based on the readings, maps, timeline, and responsive writing. Another friend will be using Veritas Press in her co-op. There is also the History Odyssey curriculum by Pandia Press which seems possible to use in a co-op setting. HTH!

Sue G in PA Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Not sure if you would like secular or don't mind Christian but All American History was written for a co-op. http://www.brightideaspress.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMom2One Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I'll put in another vote for TOG. It's awesome! One good thing about it would be that you could have more than one level going within a co-op since it is designed for families with multiple levels. But honestly, the quality of the materials is wonderful and there are numerous co-ops using it. Blessings, Lucinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
