Has anyone combined TQ with SCM’s “Visit’s to…” series? If not, what did you use for geography? Or is looking on the map sufficient?
We start AHYSI this year and I’d like to offer map work like SCM offers. I need a little hand-holding until we get experience. I also want to fit the “Visits to…” series into our plan somewhere bc they look great!
Thanks for your help!

I have not combined TQ and Visits To… but “Visits to…” is a stand alone program used once/week so I do not see why you could not add it to TQ.
We really, really like Vists To… and in the past two school years completed Visits to Africa and Visits to Europe and will do North America next year.

I haven’t used it yet but do have it planned for this year. We’ve used TQ for most of 6 years and I think Visits to will combine with it quite easily.
I have three who are doing AHYS2 with me and we’ll do Visits to NAmerica. My olders are doing TQ Greece and Rome with Visits to Middle East. They won’t line up exactly but that’s not concerning to me.
I looked at which Visits to was chosen for which SCM guide and then used that to help me decide which one would work best for how I had our TQ history planned.
In the past, we’ve tried to just do the “look at the map” idea. Never seemed to work. Either I didn’t have an easily available map for the topic or I’d forget.

We did TQ Rome and Visits to Europe this year. It worked well and I think dd will have an easier time in the middle ages and renaissance because of it. 🙂

Which one would you use for AHYSI? I know this shows how little I know.
Thanks for all your helpful input.

I’d probably use Visits to Europe (since AHYS1 has a lot of beginnings from the settlers/Puritans/Pilgrims, etc) or Visits to N America (since it’s obviously American history : ).
