Melissa B Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I am looking for a thorough World Geography program for next year. We can work through it for two years so we have the time. I want something current and complete (upper logic stage -7th or 8th grade) as I do not plan to hit geography again - except as an aside in history. Thanks!

dhudson Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 MFW's Exploring Country and Cultures with the 7th and 8th grade supplement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paula j Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 BJU has 9th grade geography. If I use this next year I would probably go through CC unit studies volume 2, For God So Loved the World again with it. Sonlight core 5 is also geography but only Eastern Hemisphere, it would be plenty of work for a 7th or 8th grader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa B Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 Thanks for the suggestions so far! I also see Runkle's Geography. Anyone use this? Today I found Our Los Banos. http://www.ourlosbanos.com/homeschool/history/worldstudies.html I like the look of this. It is an older children's supplement to WP's Children Around the World program. I could use the Winter Promise program with the younger children, leaving out the missionary parts, and the Our Los Banos supplement to strengthen the program and allow me to spread it out over two years for my oldest dd. Our Los Banos uses the geography text - Diversity Amid Globalization: World Regions, Environment, Development. But I would think any geography text (divided by regions) that I like, would work. Has anyone used the Our Los Banos geography supplement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela in ohio Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 BJU has 9th grade geography. I looked and looked at Geography programs for my 7th, 5th, and 1st grader this year. BJU is what I chose for the7th. It is absolutely the most thorough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmonyartmom Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I am going to be using the high school plan with my two boys next year. I have been busy checking on all the books and I am finding that the bulk are available at my library. I also really like the content and the flow of this program. Just my input on this one.

charlotteb Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I've been very pleased with "Around the World in 180 Days"! It covers geography on a continental basis. Also covered are brief history, current events, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
