Eastern Cultures / History - what is out there for it?

[frugalmamatx]

I'm thinking ahead to next year since this year is all ready to go. I work a year ahead in picking up materials, so need at least a general idea of what I'm using now {although I am flexible to change if needed}. Next year would be dd's 6th grade year fwiw. 

 

I have Sonlight Core F, older version, on my shelves. But I'm concerned that SL probably will be too much for us again - while I love the program, we get bogged down in the books. This year to avoid that we're taking a lighter year and using Lifepac Grade 5 history {American History}. Is there something workbook based like Lifepac but that would cover Eastern History like SL? Bonus points if it's from a neutral or secular perspective, though I can edit religious based items if needed.

BookShark has their grade 5 history which is Eastern Hemisphere. They JUST released their own text, so students no longer look everything up in an encyclopedia. It has student pages as well. I would look at that first - and you probably have most of he books, so you could buy the guides and not the whole package.

If you already have Sonlight...then you might as well edit out the religious parts. Bookshark is the secular arm of Sonlight.
