Nam2001 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I am hoping to do a year of world geography next year with my 8th grader. I was leaning towards Notgrass or Guest Hollow but someone mentioned All Ye Lands, by Catholic Textbook Project. We are not Catholic (we are Protestant). I’m wondering if that will be too much of an issue for a geography text. I’ll probably add extra reading from Guest Hollow whatever I end up using. Thanks!

caffeineandbooks Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Just dropping a fourth option into the mix: have you seen World Geography and Ecology from Beautiful Feet? It's aimed at 7th-9th, lit based, non-sectarian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LauraClark Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Following because I'm thinking through this same thing for my next year 8th grader. I've made his geography curriculum this year and it didn't go as I wanted it to-I need a plan to follow for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusyMom5 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Me, too! Trying to decide if I'm doing Geography or restarting Ancients for 8th grader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneGG Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 No advice, but thanks for giving me a new curriculum to check out! All Ye Lands looks interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraClark Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 All ye Lands doesn't look as in depth as Notgrass: All ye Lands says it is for grades 6-7 and Notgrass is highschool level. The sample of All ye included more science-y stuff than I think I want since we have a separate science already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraClark Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Further thoughts after exploring guest hollow more: the text looks a little dry and I didn't see any history. Since I'm using geography instead of history this next year for ds I was hoping to have some history included. I think it's Notgrass for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
