Uncle Josh's Outline Map Book
Description
Outline maps are a foundational part of teaching geography and history. Here are hundreds of maps to use year after year, regardless of topic or time studied. From drawing explorer's routes to tracking hurricanes to depicting the rise and fall of empires, it's here! Includes continents, ancient historical regions, important war arenas, each of the fifty states, and more! Rivers are lightly shaded and surrounding borders are visible. You've got the whole world covered! Reproducible pages.
The book edition contains 130+ reproducible blank grayscale maps, while the Collection CD and Digital Download version has more than 260—including shaded relief maps of the world and each continent, many colored labeled maps, and also maps of each U.S. state and the Canadian provinces and territories.
NOTE: the physical book version and its variants do not include any colored maps. Color maps are in the complete map Collection on CD or Digital Download only.
Studying history alongside quality literature resources has always made sense to me. Evidently it makes sense to the Notgrass family as well because they’ve developed a well-organized and user-friendly curriculum that integrates these two subjects and adds a solid Bible component. The courses may be completed in any order during the high school years; however, the publisher suggests the following sequence: Exploring World Geography, Exploring World History, Exploring America, and Exploring Government and Economics.
Exploring World Geography, Exploring World History, and Exploring America are each one year in length, providing three high school credits if using all the components and recommended literature titles. Exploring World History and Exploring America offers a credit in history, English (literature and composition), and Bible. The Exploring World Geography course also includes three credits: History, English, and Worldview. Exploring Government and Exploring Economics are semester-length courses, and would offer 1/2 credit in Government and English, and Economics and English, respectively. See each course for more information.
Either as independent study courses or discussion-based studies, the written-to-the-student texts allow for as much or as little involvement as parents choose (or are able) to give. There is a permeating emphasis on Bible and Christian history but no denominational bias. Curriculum Packages include required texts and primary source book. The Student Review Pack includes Student Review Book, Quiz & Exam Book, and Answer Key. The Student Review Book (part of the Student Review Pack) offers review/discussion questions, Bible commentary for Part 1 of Exploring World History, and literary analysis and review questions for all literature. Quiz & Exam Book holds quizzes and exams; the answer key is a separate book. Reading assignments for the recommended literature accompany the lessons.
