dorothy Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I want to cover world history in 3 years for my middle-schooler. How would you divide the history between 6, 7, and 8th grades? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiguirre Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 You could easily use Sonlight's Cores 6, 7 and 100 for a 3 year cycle in middle school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patchfire Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I'm planning something sort of similar; I want to do world history in 5, 6, and 7, and then one year of straight American history in 8. I just took the number of weeks (108) and divided by 4 - which gives 27 weeks (more or less) to spend on each 'part' of history. I don't have it fleshed out much more than that since I still have over a year to finalize my plans (thank goodness!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hathersage Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 You could buy K12's Human Odyssey series. 3 volumes of history. You could try and find the books used or buy direct from k12 here: http://www.k12.com/schooling_programs/k12_direct/human_odyssey/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandy in TN Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 As a spine Power Basics World History covers world history in 3 years. World History 1- earliest history through the middle ages World History 2- Renaissance through Imperialism World History 3- 20th Century History Unlike SOTW it covers history by region, so for example all the lessons on Greeks are together. Also, unlike SOTW it is written to cover the basics of junior high/ senior high senior high level history. The student books are meant for the student to read and are written at about a 4th grade reading level. There is also a workbook, teacher's guide, and tests. The books are about the same length and width as SOTW and like SOTW the books do not contain pictures. These books could work for middle school in a fashion similar to SOTW in elementary school, but they would leave 8th grade for US history. RR sells them, but the Walch website has great examples of the student book, workbook, teacher's guide, and tests. HTH- Mandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 My now senior did a three year rotation in 7th, 8th, and 9th grades. I broke it down: Pre-history to 500AD 500AD to 1700AD 1700AD to 2000AD We were on a strict budget those years, so I cobbled together materials myself from various reading lists, etc. If you're interested in seeing the book/material lists we used, send me a personal message and I'll send them to you.
