I watched them yesterday and the information was so delightfully fun that it is still going through my head. Since I originally posted this I had time to watch the video clips for the DVD set and am super impressed. The cultural elements will be covered in history. I really want a program that will help my kids locate countries on a map. We are also doing combined history program using a spine and timeline construction, so anything that compliments that is a bonus. So how do the two programs compare? Has anyone used them? I will be choosing one to use as a combined subject next year with a 7th & 8th grader. My concerns are the price, the lack of sample lessons on the website, and does it really work? Also what are the workbooks like? What is the procedure of a typical lesson? It sounds good but for the price there isn't alot of detailed info on the website. This program looks very good for country memorization. Does anyone know if they avoid those issues? We are Catholic and I would hate to come across anti-Catholic sentiments in a "fun" program. My concerns are the lack of detailed world maps and the history parts. The sample chapters look fun and the program is very affordable. This program looks really great, the recipes are a great addition because my kids love to eat historical foods. In the various geography threads I have found recommendations for two programs that look great. I tried to post this in an existing thread but it got lost in the already existing discussion so I decided to create a new thread.
