mirabillis Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Anyone do it? What textbook and materials did you use? Is it feasible? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokotg Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I hope it's feasible because we're trying it this year ? (world history). I did US history with my oldest a couple of years ago, and that went pretty well. But we used Pandia Press's curriculum for that and just had to add in some AP specific material, so it was a little easier. We've also done art history and human geography, though. I'm still working on pulling together World History, but so far I've ordered a textbook (I got the Bentley Traditions and Encounters one, but I can't remember why anymore. I'd read too much, and I just wanted to decide and be done with it already!), I'm having him go through the material on Khan Academy, and I ordered a set of DVDs from Great Courses. I'll add in lots of test prep material (particularly practicing DBQs and other FRQs), some longer non-fiction and documentaries as we have time, and some projects and assignments (I use the sample syllabi on the college board site a lot as a resource for that).

Sebastian (a lady) Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 What do you mean by self study? Does that mean a course you supervise instead of using an outside class? Or do you mean one that your kid self directs through? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
