Another question about MFW

[hsmom2011]

Would it be worth doing MFW for just Bible and History?

 

I know we would not do the writing portion, we already have that set.

I'm not sure if dd would go for the lit. choices, so we may end up doing

something else for lit.

I like the idea of stretching world history out over 2 yrs, but wonder if it would

be worth the cost if we did just Bible and History.

I think it would be worth it, MFW is an extremely good program and they integrate Bible, history & literature better than any other program that I have seen. 

Even if you don't do the literature and writing, it is still very strong. 

 

World History is a one year program, though. They do spend one year on ancients, then one year on world, then two years with Am. history and government integrated. I think that any part you can do would provide a valuable experience.

I am also doing this.  My ds has the opportunity to do a coop-ish class for Math, Science, and English.

I plan to take out the Lit and Writing portion, but continue with history, Bible, and geography

Thank you both for your replies. :)

My son used AHL and WHL over the past two years.  We followed the history pretty much as written.  We followed some of the Bible, subbing or replacing several of the books/lessons.  He read the lit selections (and shocked me with how much he enjoyed them!!), but we probably only did 10-20% of the writing assignments (using something else I preferred).

 

It was totally worth it.  He loved these past two years and was appropriately challenged.

Thank you! This is what I need to hear. My dd is so hit or miss with lit. choices. Ideally, I would like to use the lit. w/ MFW. Maybe she will surprise me and enjoy them as well! I have ordered the guides which I should be receiving any day now. If the guides look good, I will order the rest of the package. :)

I now have the guides for AHL and the Notgrass Exploring World History texts. I have reviewed the guides and read through much of Notgrass and really love it!

After looking through the comp./lit. MFW has to offer, I'm hoping dd will go with the complete program. I am very pleased with the writing instruction. I plan to order the remainder of the AHL program when the S&H rates drop back down in Sept. - lol. :)
