Notgrass World History?

I have used it as a supplement to other things.  Biblically it is excellent, however as with most texts there is not enough meat, and that is to be expected because you are covering such a vast subject.  It is a very interesting course and well written –  the book of original sources is also excellent that comes with it.  I cannot however speak to whether or not it would work with the specific modules because I don’t have those. There website has a sample chapter and table of contents you can look at though.  We are also using the Exploring Government as a supplement to our other reading as again it is a wonderful read – with history though I prefer a lot of different sources and cannot make myself use just one.  Everything we have read though is really interesting and put over in a very student friendly way.

I always liked the look of the Notgrass books.  I especially like  “In Their Own Words”because it has writings of famous people.  Sadly my son’s didn’t like it as much as I did. They used the world history curriculum in 9th and 10th grade as the spine in the My Father’s World curriculum. They read many other books with it but felt that Notgrass was mostly Biblical history. Maybe it’s what was said previously about it not being meaty enough. My son’s already had a good grasp on Biblical history and were looking for more info on the rest of history – but history is one of there main strengths and interests. I’m sure it’s very much just a preference. Things have to be pretty interesting to please my boys!
