buttercup Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 for history and Bible together. I am wanting to do ancient history. I am not sure of exactly what I need and how to make the two coincide. I have a 6th grader and 3rd grader. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomatHWTK Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Are you looking at the self-paced courses or other? Here's a link to the TM for the Old Testament and Ancient Egypt course: http://books.google.com/books?id=jZ5i39-xxpMC&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 VP integrates the biblical history events into the OTAE and NTGR cards, so you don't have to do anything to make that happen. What some people do is pull those cards out in order to combine OTAE and NTGR into one year. If that's what you want to do, there are schedules for it in the files of the VP_Elementary yahoo group. Just bop over, join, and you'll find them. So yes, VP does the integration of Biblical and secular history already. You're not going to have to do anything to make that happen. And you can chose whether you want to teach it yourself or use their AMAZING self-paced online classes. I've done it both ways, and I can tell you the online classes are AWESOME. They're doing a free trial this month, so you could bop over and sign your kids up. Two weeks for each kid, an awesome deal. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttercup Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) What is the cost of their self-paced history courses? Thanks! Then why do they have a separate Bible curriculum like the Genesis Through Joshua and all of the others? What is the use of using their Bible if the Bible is already integrated in the history portion? YKWIM???

BrandieRose Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 There are Bible stories in both the history and Bible programs, so at first it might look like overkill, but they serve different purposes. The Bible stories in the history program serve the purpose of integration. They want the kids to see how Bible stories they are already familiar with fit into extra-biblical history. The purpose is not an in depth Bible study, that's what the Bible program is for. It has many more stories in much more detail, and studies overarching themes in the Bible. For example, the history program will tell you that Moses went to Mount Sinai and where that fits in compared to, say, Hammurabi, but only the Bible program is going to go into the details of the wilderness wanderings. The history program alone will give you the integration, you really don't need the Veritas Bible, you could use something else, but it's a good program.
