Melissa B Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I am looking for suggestions. We need a US History program that has the writing and discussion (and possibly the literature, too) already scheduled and tied together. We are not looking for a textbook program. So far, I am looking at Fundafunda US History and Kolbe US History. It would need to be secular or Catholic friendly. I did try pulling related resourced together this year and that did not go as well as we had hoped. Any other suggestions for pre-planned programs?

Melissa B Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 :bigear: I would really like something like SWB's History of the World (high school/adult version) with accompanying Study Guide, written for US History. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrissySC Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Have you looked at Hewitt? Nation of Nations is a great honors book for US history. I like the plan and layout for writing. Couple this with the American Literature, and you have a good set. You will cover composition, literature, and US history in this way. We did just that with the oldest. I am looking at doing the same again for the next. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrissySC Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I am trying to remember the teachers .... I remember answers to the book and the assignments, but no examples. The essays were more expository. In some cases, you would use rhetoric skills to develop your essay and argue/prove a statement or belief. You would have to read the text in order to grade the essay. I actually enjoyed this text - it was a bit wordy but very detailed. I also used the CD of resources too that came with the book. But to answer you ... not that I recall, and that has been quite a long time - my oldest is 23 now, LOL. I have it packed, but let me see if I can reach it. I dug out the book for reference for American history this year, and I am going to add some Notgrass to our collection, but I didn't get the TE because dd now is not ready for that level (seventh). Hold that question ... Unless someone else can answer it now :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
