hina Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Sorry if this post is a repeat but I can't get the search function to work in this forum... Has anyone used History Odyssey from Pandia Press before (NOT the Human Odyssey one)? Pros/Cons? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 We used level 2 ancients. We did not continue through the rest of level 2. I can only speak for our experience, but here is what didn't work for my kid: extremely uneven lessons. Some would be very short, others would be like "read this novel". the integrated writing. He needed a separate writing program the number of lessons. Due to how uneven they were, trying to pace a weird number like 87 total lessons was more stress than it was worth. Especially coupled with how uneven they were. Things that did work for us: my kid enjoyed several of the fiction books. In fact, we still have most of them. We ended up moving to Creek Edge Press the next year. It had much of what we looked for in History Odyssey but came in a set of 36 cards (one per week), ability to choose our own resources based on what we had available, and ability to scale the assignments up or down. Because it was a single card to work with it gave him a better idea of how to start scheduling his own work and decide how to plan everything out for his week (cutting up the readings, adding in 1-2 other assignments to go with each day). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertflower Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I took a look at it and I thought it was a lot of writing. That is not what I wanted for my kids. Everyone is different though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
