Description
Category Description for Notgrass High School History
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.
