janainaz Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I need suggestions for solid government and economics curriculum. My ds is starting a school next year that requires him to have those two courses completed by grade 11. I'd like a textbook/workbook/test type of curriculum for both so that we can show the completed work if necessary. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almondbutterandjelly Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Abeka has Government and Economics. They are also a Christian publisher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Some of these are secular, and some are Christian: Complete Programs -- Self-Directed - Gov't & Econ = Alpa-Omega Life Pacs (workbook set) -- Switched on Schoolhouse is the CD rom version plus workbook material that can be printed out - ACE (Accelerated Christian Education) PACES -- Gov't = 1133-1138 and Econ = 1139-1144 -- CD Roms + workbooks - Notgrass = Exploring Economics and Exploring Gov't - Economics in a Box (books and DVDs program) Textbooks - Macgruder's American Government -- set of textbook and workbook - Great Source: American Government -- textbook and activity book - Harcourt: American Government -- student textbook and teacher guide -- ETA: FOR GRADES 4-8 If at ALL possible, also consider including involvement in a mock legislative or judicial program, which is a very fast and effective way of learning government, PLUS the benefits of public speaking, leadership and responsibility, and a SUPER extracurricular for college admissions and scholarships: Gov't = YMCA Youth In Government (model legislation program) (west of Mississippi =Youth AND Government) Gov't = Teen Court, Youth Court, Mock Trial (model judicial branch of government)Gov't = TEEN Pact (government and the political process; Christian)Politics/Gov't = Junior State of America (teen events on civics/politics; speakers & discussion sessions)Politics = National Model United Nations or Model United Nations (mock U.N. session) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janainaz Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Some of these are secular, and some are Christian: Textbooks - Macgruder's American Government -- set of textbook and workbook - Great Source: American Government -- textbook and activity book - Harcourt: American Government -- student textbook and teacher guide I almost bought the Harcourt: American Government and noticed these texts are for 4-8th grade. Just FYI for anyone else - those suggestions are not high school texts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
