Valley Girl Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I'm narrowing down history options for next year and am now looking at world history curricula for my soon-to-be ninth grader. We've already done five years of the history cycle and will finish HO Modern History II soon. For next year, I'm looking for a program that will sum it all up and give as thorough a review of the whole timeline as is possible in a one-year program. I do want to stay away from programs with an overt religious component to them. But I also don't want anything that's negative toward religion either. So I'm wondering if there are any secular resources out there at fit those criteria. For instance, I'm looking at Holt World History Patterns of Interaction at the moment. Anyone ever use it? Is there something else you used that you'd recommend? Thanks in advance for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kassia Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 We are also planning on using Oak Meadow for World History in 9th grade. Erica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Girl Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 I'm checking out both of those right now. Thank you all! Regentrude, it looks like World History: A Human Odyssey (Spielvogel) is simply a textbook, not a curriculum with lesson plans, questions, tests, etc. Is that how you used it? Did you create your own lesson plans, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad S Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) You could look into Ways of the World as the main text for a one-year overview; it has a global focus. Edited May 5, 2016 by Brad S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
