Finding a good history curriculum for high school was one of the most challenges I faced when I was being homeschooled. It seemed like most of the good history books stop at the Civil War or World War Ii. What about modern history? It's hard to find a history book from a Christian perspective about modern history. Have you run into this problem, too? This difficulty has been overcome with a high school history curriculum from Notgrass Company. Exploring America by Ray Notgrass is an marvelous curriculum that is inviting as well as educational. It begins with Christopher Columbus and ends at the gift time. Each day is broken up into short concise lessons.
Sometimes history books seem to make the inviting events sound like nothing more than boring facts, Mr. Notgrass has an inviting writing style that makes the events come to life. There are also daily assignments that encourage the students to dig deeper. Sometimes they will read a document, speech, or hymn from American Voices, which is a 400+ page companion book that comes with the curriculum. Other times they will look up relevant Bible verses and also memorize verses. Writing assignments (including writing a investigate paper) are also part of the assignments. Students who end the procedure will have three credits, one in history, one in English, and one in Bible. How's that for hitting 3 birds with one stone?
Homeschool Curriculum
This book is needful for every high school learner and will give them the tools to take an in-depth look at American history from a Biblical perspective. If you are seeing for a no ifs ands or buts good American history high school curriculum look no further. Exploring America has filled a big gap in the history curriculum for homeschoolers. Exploring America is the best high school curriculum for American history I have ever seen! I wish it had been colse to when I was in high school.
