3girls4me Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Hi ladies, I have been going back and forth about history next year and just can't seem to find what I am looking for. I would like to combine my kids (grades 7,4,2 - though I'm not much concerned about history for my 2nd grader). We will be doing early modern. I had pretty much decided on Simply Charlotte Mason, but I really would like more requirements than just narrations. I would love discussion questions and suggestions for research or essays. I want as simple as possible - so not so much history that there isn't time for much else. We are Christians, so that is preferable but not necessary. I would love something that has a spine that keeps us together but lots of good living books for each age too. Any suggestions? I've looked at BP and had a hard time getting excited. Same with notgrass. I've considered TOG but I think it might be too complicated. What am i missing? I really think SCM looks great with extra books if needed, but I just want more meat added. I'm sure i could come up with discussions points and essay topics on my own, but I would love to have that work done for me for times when I just simply don't have the energy 😊 Thanks for any thoughts!!

scoutingmom Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Maybe look at the Good and Beautiful History? It matches everything except it goes through different time periods. There are v samples on their webpage. Sent from my SM-T530NU using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Lake Mom Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Mystery of History might work well for those ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3girls4me Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 I'll take a look at the Good and the Beautiful, though I'd really prefer early modern history specifically. My oldest is using HOD now and it includes MOH, but we have another week before that text is introduced. I'll take note on whether I think that would be a good spine to drive us next year. Thanks!

Peaceseeker Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Maybe Beautiful Feet? It adds some discussion questions and vocabulary to the CM style of notebooking. The time periods may be broken up a bit differently from some of the classical programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raganfamily Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I've heard some people use the truth quest guides Sent from my SM-T713 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschickie Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I highly suggest Mystery of History. There are yahoo groups for each of the MoH books where you can find literature lists and schedules that match up with the book. I used mainly Sonlight readers and there were schedules out there for that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
