Does anyone combine the Ancients and make a 4 year rotation? OR other CM sources???

Sonya, I am getting very confused about how to use the modules thru highschool.  I have been reading that alot of people say to combine mod. 1-3 for 9th and then for 10th mod 4 + state study then mod 5 + something and then mod 6 + something else in 12th.  And that each of those senario’s equals 1 highschool credit.  Is that because each mod. is only a portion of history?  I am curious to know what exactly you do with your own children?  I will have 2 8th graders next year along with a 5th, and 2, 3rd’s.  I was thinking of starting the cycle at mod.1 next year, but am now very confused.

I have only seen module 5 but it appears that it will count for 1/2 credit American and 1/2 credit World. So, yes, a total of 1 history credit.

My girls have gotten their goverment credit through TeenPact so that frees up a space for state history.

I haven’t actually done this, but I cannot see why this wouldn’t work.  There are 180 days in a typical school year, so if you are combining 3 years of lessons into one year, that would give you 60 days (3 terms) to cover each module.

It is really simple.  =)  The lessons are labeled Bible, Geography, and History.  Just pick out those history and geography lessons, get the books you need, and decide if it is enough for your child.  You can add a research paper or extra readings, or whatever IF you feel that you need to or just want to.  There are so many living books that I always want to read and we just never have time. lol  This is where I would plan to put some of those wanted books.

Bible could be done in several ways.  SCM offers several Bible studies for HS students.  They can do that, they can do a simple read one chapter a day, you can find a devotional book, whatever.  

Another way to do is to speed up the Module pace and include the Bible – but you would have to do at least 3 lessons per day to combine all 3 modules without losing any time any where.  

Have you actually downloaded the free Module samples and really looked at them?  I think that this would make more sense if you did.  Here is the link:  http://simplycharlottemason.com/books/genesis-deuteronomy-ancient-egypt/  Looking at the How to Use, Resources Needed and most importantly, the Term 1 lay out and plan.  That is all there is in the free sample, but each term in each module is laid out like that.  Very easy to read and use.
