~blessedmom~ Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Is there a one-year overview of history that anyone can recommend, either a curriculum or other books? We are working through our history cycle right now, but I need something to fill our 8th grade year before starting ancients again in 9th. I thought maybe an overview would be beneficial since we'll be doing a geography year in 7th. Any help/ advice would be welcomed with open arms!:001_smile::bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIch elle Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 read the book over the year. Most libraries have older copies if this book, look for the updated 1997 version. You may consider doing Story of Mankind and SOTW 4 in one year so you'll get a better modern history overview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jibaker103 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Trisms History Makers can be completed in 1 year for an 8th grader. I have heard nothing but wonderful things about it! Jennifer Mother to Noah Age 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amtmcm Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 We used the books alongside Landmark World History. I hesitate to recommend Landmark as I'm sure some will cringe at the workbook style, but my DD sure is retaining the lessons! http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?item_no=31804&event=1016LCA|1770019|1016 She is also thoroughly enjoying Beautiful Feet History of Science - it's her favorite right now. And Beautiful Feet has a Jr High US/World history set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~blessedmom~ Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 Thanks for the suggestions!!....I am looking into them all as I type......well, you know what I mean ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowWhite Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 WinterPromise offers Adventures in the Sea and Sky as a one-year history overview from the vantage point of transportation. It's aimed toward 4th-6th graders, but there is an Older Learner Guide available. That adds high level projects (and more materials) to the study and looks very intriguing to me.
