    Hi everyone,

    I am looking for a good World History spine (from a Christian perspective) that I can use as a springboard alongside Sonya’s guides and the assigned literature. If you have a recommendation I would love for you to share it! I have one of those text kiddos that has asked for one.

    Each SCM module has a spine assigned to it.  You could just use those and then look up each topic on the internet to find videos and articles or pictures to go along with it.  That’s what we do.

    There is Child’s History of the World that covers world history and Grombich has one, but neither of those have colored pictures.  You could visit the library and check out a bunch of books on Rome or Greece or Old England or America also if something sparks an interest.

    We are planning to use the first module, Genesis-Deut., with 2 – 9th grade girls. They are both heavy readers and read at a college level. We have graduated 3 children previously and always used the literature approach to teach history. One of my 9th graders prefers something, like Notgrass, that has more of a textbook feel with literature added. I would really rather not separate them into 2 totally different programs for history. Thinking out loud…

    What about reading the applicable part of Notgrass world history for the “Spine” instead of some of the Genesis through dueteronomy readings. It may take some planning. My fathers world looks like they use it in highschool. https://www.mfwbooks.com/item/96100/

    Also the ancient literature Greenleaf guide, while not a textbook may give you additional nonfiction source readings.

    This is exactly what we’ve decided to do! I am going with the middle school “From Adam to Us” as it’s a little lighter and they will start with the day’s reading and then add in literature.

    Thanks ladies!
