tj_610 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 My 6th grade dd is begging to do American history. She needs a little accommodation from us due to mild general academic malaise. She has above-average reading ability (albeit reluctant). We'd like an affordable, one semester, ability-appropriate survey with a biblical perspective. She has enjoyed MOH vol. 1 format, and the Heroes biographies by the Benges. Has anyone used Christian Liberty Press' "Exploring American History"? It seems to fit the bill. http://www.shopchristianliberty.com/exploring-american-history-second-edition/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Happy123 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I was just looking over the Beautiful Feet website based on another poster's suggestion in a different thread. It has a One-semester curriculum on Western expansion and another on the history of California that look interesting. They are geared for the intermediate grades.

Sahamamama Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Notgrass America the Beautiful might be what you're looking for. The description says "one year," but by assigning slightly less work, it would be possible to adapt to one semester. We used it here last year as a read aloud, but I think it would work better as an independent reading text (as it's meant to be). HTH. http://www.notgrass.com/notgrass/america-the-beautiful.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefgazer Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Memoria Press' "History of the Thirteen Colonies and The Great Republic" is for a year's worth of history. But by doing a little each day and cutting out some workbook pages judiciously, you could adapt it to a semester's worth of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tj_610 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Sorry for delay. Thank you for those replies. We ended up using CLP "Exploring American History". She likes it. Only downside is that it isn't particularly rigorous for a 6th grader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
