Quiver0f10 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 If you use this in grade 8, what do you plan to do for grade 9 history? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I'm not using it for grade 8, but I plan to go back to a World History cycle next year. In our case, for high school, that most likely will mean going back to Omnibus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna A. Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Just a heads-up, Jean, if you haven't already begun ATB with one of your students... It will seem *very* light if you've been doing an integrated lit-based curriculum all along. The mapwork and timeline book are SUPER easy. My middle dd did ATB last year for 8th grade. She enjoyed it at first, as she enjoyed being able to work at her own pace independently. But after several weeks, she got extremely tired of the writing style (it felt like the author was talking to a little kid), and was anxious to start high school work early. I allowed her to do so, but only on the condition that she actually *finish* ATB, too. She wasn't really learning much history, as it was primarily animals and famous landmarks around the country, so she was bored. She did finish it.... eventually. :tongue_smilie: We start the history cycle over again in 9th grade using MFW AHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thank you, both. I forgot I posted this question. I am looking for something for my LD, history hating 14 year old....I might keep him with the other kids in BP and then use Exploring America in 9th.
