Guest kellymicco Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 How does Usborne compare to SOTW? It sounds cool to have the internet links so handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELaurie Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Usborne Internet linked Ancient World and Medieval World books and they're a great addition to SOTW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basketmaker Amy Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 We used the Ancient, Roman and Egypt ones when we were studying SOTW Book One. They were a great addition. (I have them for sale now, if you want to check out the swap board! :) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kissy Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 The Usborne books you mentioned would be more of a reference or WTM suggests books like that as an outline. The SOTW is more of a story so I would think they work well together and would be ok apart depending on what you would like to have for your classroom. I am an Usborne rep if you do decide to buy one, you should check out the Usborne book of history which includes ancient history, medieval, prehistoric, and modern times. It is a better buy than buying them seperately. HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo2 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Agree with Kissy. The Usborne books are more like a spine. Definitely get the combined volume (Encyclopedia of World History) as it is a much better value (paperback for 19.99). It goes along well with SOTW, and the activity guide in SOTW actually lists which pages in the Usborne book to reference, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
