I love getting history books from the library and doing our own projects. But my daughter just loves how this program is laid out, and I have been really impressed with all they are learning. It’s something I could wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who doesn’t want to take a DIY approach to homeschool history.” Read the Review review by Adventures in Homeschooling ”As a military family, we put a lot of focus on our nations history, discussing our call to serve and the foundations of our country. Understanding our history is important to our family and, therefore, something we think is extremely important in our homeschool.” Read the Review review by Farm Fresh Adventures ”My thoughts are that this program is everything I hoped it would be and more. Not only is the textbook written in a narrative form making it easy to read, it is so full of photographs and visual things to go with the words. Little Britches pours over the photos in each lesson, he enjoys them so much.” Read the Review review by the Flanders Family ”Overall, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by America the Beautiful. I find it much more interesting than the dry history texts I had as a kid, and my children stay engaged when I read it aloud, asking lots of questions and poring over photos.” Read the Review

Typically counted as 1/2 credit for high school students. Exploring Government Does the prospect of a semester of studying government set your child's feet to dancing? Mine neither. But in many states, a semester is required for graduation. As painful as it may seem, a complete understanding of government will have a more significant impact on your students than a comparable understanding of calculus. Exploring Government is as painless as it gets. Bite-sized lessons cover federal, state, and local government, as well as contemporary issues in government. Particular emphasis is placed on the Biblical basis for government and the U.S. Constitution. Busy moms will be glad to know that Exploring Government is designed as a self-study course for teens. There are seventy-five engaging lessons divided into fifteen units of five lessons each. Each lesson has a student-friendly layout, with options included for various interesting, relevant activities in every unit. Exploring Government can be used to achieve a half-credit in English. But your teen will need to read the recommended literature books (we suggest checking them out from the library) and the literary analysis provided in the optional Student Review Pack. Plus, it will involve essay writing. Doing these assignments may be valuable if your teen is college-bound and without other writing activities. They will help to crystallize his opinions and possible real-life applications. Or these suggested essay questions as a springboard for discussions around the dinner table or with your community group. The Exploring Government curriculum package includes two books: the Exploring Government textbook with material clearly outlined as to the student's daily and weekly assignments, and We Hold These Truths, a collection of historical documents, essays, and speeches in American government. Both books are illustrated with a plethora of full-color photos, drawings, and maps. In addition, an optional Student Review Pack is available to provide literary analysis for the optional English component, review questions for each lesson, weekly quizzes, three exams, and an answer key.

Completing the entire course provides your child with a year’s high school credit in American History, English (literature and composition), and Bible. If that proves to be too heavy of a course load for your child, we suggest he ignore the literature portion. Instead, focus his energies on understanding the history section, which involves reading the teen-friendly Exploring America lessons, and the original source documents and speeches.

It is comprehensive, giving students a survey of events and issues from European exploration to the war on terror, with extensive coverage of the twentieth century.

Of particular interest is In Their Words, the words of the people who made history in original documents, speeches, poems, and stories. In addition to a thorough survey of Western Civilization, Exploring World History offers significant coverage of Latin America, Africa, and Asia. It features hundreds of color illustrations and photographs. Exploring World History can qualify for three high-school credits history, Bible, and literature. You will need to use both their classic literature option and their writing assignments. If you do choose to utilize the literature portion, the required titles are books you may already have or can easily obtain from your local library.

Exploring World History Student Review Pack

From Adam to Us From Adam to Us by Ray and Charlene Notgrass is a one-year world history and literature course designed for grades five through eight students. The daily lessons are written narratively and richly illustrated with color photographs and maps. Primary sources, literature, and hands-on activities help the student connect with history personally. All of the instructions for using the course are included in From Adam to Us Part 1 and Part 2, so you do not need a separate Teacher's Manual. The daily instructions are so easy to follow that most children will be able to follow them on their own. At the beginning of each weekly unit, an introductory page gives: An overview of the unit A list of the lessons A list of what additional books the student will be using while studying that particular unit. Following the unit introduction is five daily lessons, one to be read each day. While this course is designed for children in grades 5-8, younger children can listen to the lessons and participate in the family activities. Most students will need 45-90 minutes to complete one lesson. Your child can read the daily lessons independently, or you can read the lessons aloud. They are richly illustrated with color photographs, historical illustrations, and detailed maps. At the end of each lesson is a list of assignments. Students are not necessarily expected to complete all of these assignments. You may choose which ones you wish to assign. The types of assignments vary from day to day. They include: Reading assignments from Our Creative World Activities work in the Map Book Entries in the Timeline Book Assignments in the Student Workbook or Lesson Review Thinking Biblically Vocabulary Creative writing Reading assignments in the recommended literature One special family activity is assigned each week. Projects include arts and crafts, recipes, and games. Each activity is given with its related lesson, but you may do it any day of the week. You will need to plan for extra time when you do the family activity. Types of Lessons The curriculum has thirty chronological units of five lessons each. Each weekly unit has one lesson from each of five categories. Our World Story: We use major events to provide a framework for understanding the chronology of world history. Examples include the Tower of Babel, the conquests of Alexander the Great, the early church, the invention of the printing press, and the fall of Communism in Europe. God's Wonders: We explore the world's created wonders and show how they have influenced history and culture. These lessons include the Mediterranean Sea, the Indus Valley, the Potosi Silver Mine of the Andes, the Gobi Desert, and the Cape of Good Hope. World Landmark: These lessons explore places that demonstrate the amazing abilities of people made in the image of God and their place in history, including the Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Wall of China, the moai statues of Easter Island, Macchu Picchu, and modern skyscrapers. World Biography: These lessons relate to the life and times of history's most influential personalities, including Ramses II, Judas Maccabeus, Johann Sebastian Bach, Queen Victoria, and C. S. Lewis. Daily Life: We give an inside view of everyday life from the beginning of history to modern times, exploring how new ideas and inventions make a difference for ordinary people. These lessons include early writing, Chinese porcelain production, the missionary work of Methodius and Cyril, the Industrial Revolution, and globalization. The Books Used The From Adam to Us Curriculum Package includes the first six books listed below, enough for one child to complete the curriculum.
