sted Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I found these Cd's on Beautiful Feet website. Has anyone used these for Am. History? What's your opinion? Thanks, Shannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in KS Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I personally haven't used them as part of a curriculum, but I've heard wonderful things about them. I've also listened to some of the stories and I find them very good. They always have a few episodes here if you're wanting to know if you like the style: http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/Your_Story_Hour/archives.asp?bcd=2009-3-22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Alfred Academy Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 We give them a thumbs up at our house. We don't use them as "curricula", just to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDay Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I think they are cute. The quality is pretty good, but *I* think they are a bit - well - staged. I do not think the quality is as good as Jonathan Park, but they are okay. I dont want to give them a bad review - they are not bad. But, they are not top either. If that is clear at all. We use them with our history program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Anna Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I grew up hearing those on the radio. They made various things "stick" in my head that I didn't hold onto from any other source. You might be able to find a better audio drama option out there (I don't know) but I can attest to the usefulness of using audio drama to get a story/historical person across.

MIch elle Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I'll have to have them re-listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryAtHope Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 My kids have enjoyed them--we have vol. 6 & 7, and Vol 3 of the Bible ones--my son is begging for the other volumes as there was a cliffhanger in vol 3, LOL! I'm amazed at the people my kids have said, "oh, I know about him/her..." when we read--and it's from these CD's. Merry :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiguirre Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 We've listened to the Beautiful Feet stories. They're okay, a bit too overdramatic, IMHO. I would only use them if you can't find Jim Weiss stories or an interesting audiobook for the period you're studying. If you're doing BF, they fit in well and I would get them for that program since they're scheduled for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
