    Do you know if/when a revised version of the ‘Middle Ages, Renaissance, Reformation and Epistles’ handbook will be available?  We will be using this resource next year, and after having used the 3 previous lesson plan books in the series which were all revised and included the ‘Visits to’ geography in the lessons, I am wondering what to do if the revised version is not yet available?  Simply substitute a lesson from a ‘Visits to’ series for the geography lesson for that week?  And which of the as yet unused ‘Visits to’ books will eventually correspond to each of the 3 currently unrevised history/Bible/geography lesson plans?

    We are doing the Middle Ages for history this year.  The Visits to Europe seems to coordinate well with it, but we did Europe last year with Roman hx, so we went with Visits to North America as I wanted to cover the US and capitals.

    Yes, you just substitute the Visits lesson for the regular geography lesson.  We are using Visits to Europe with Middle Ages.  As the guides are now, Early Modern focuses on South America/Australia, and Modern focuses on North America.  I’m not sure where Visits to Asia will fit in?

    I know we’ll be covering NA alongside Early Modern, because I really want to cover it next year, but I think they are pretty easy to schedule however you’d like.  You don’t need to schedule them in a specific order.

    The Visits to books can easily be substituted for the geography lessons in the history lesson plan books that have not been revised yet. Simply do one Visits to lesson instead of the geography lesson written in the history lesson plan book.

    When the revised Middle Ages, Renaissance, Reformation & Epistles book is released (sorry, no release date yet) the geography lessons will use Visits to South and Central America, Australia because that time period covers the explorers.

    If I type a bunch of frownie faces to simulate weeping, would that encourage you to speed up the release date for the revised edition?  🙂  Never mind; I’ll hold on to my dignity and trust in God’s providence.  Thank you all for your answers!  They were very helpful, and I appreciate your time.

    Can anyone list any CM history living books?

    We use classical conversations memory work to our day just because I love the songs but I want living books and need to start this soon!

    Kimberlymorris5- you can use the SCM book finder as a resource. You can also look at the history guide samples. The samples are great and the include the book lists for each time period broken out by grade and family reading.

    You can also look at AO book lists, even Sonlight if you look at the history by grade and check what they are suggesting. There are so many fantastic living books!
