Shellydon Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 I had located a literature list that was paired with BJU's cultural geography course. I've lost it and searching the web is not getting me anywhere. Does anyone have a high school level literature list for geography? Does not have to be BJU. Thanks! Quote
KeriJ Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Heart of Dakota has an entire year of high school geography with a long lit. list. Quote

Murrayshire Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 We used the Build Your Library High School Lit list mentioned above the last half of our year!! The first part of our year, dd took the Intro to Literature with Online Virtual Homeschool Group(so she only completed 4 books)..... It was centered around authors from around the world..... they discussed, analyzed, had two writing assignments, quizzes, and one live class each week. Here is the book list they used..... you could check to see if they will have another class for 2016-2017 school year. Fahrenheit 451 Red Badge of Courage Animal Farm Return of the Native The Importance of Being Earnest The Count of Monte Cristo Anna Karenina The Time Machine The Old Man and the Sea VHSG also had an online class that was a Book Club....just discussion, no assignments other than reading. It was Worldly based, too. 1 Quote
