Thanks! I love curriculum flip through videos-second only to curriculum reviews 😉

I also find both really helpful for my own planning! And figuring out whether or not a curriculum might fit our needs well.

Another great review, thanks Rachel! We are using, and loving, Mystery of History! Currently going through Volume 1 and love the way it weaves Bible history and world history. My children are still lower elementary, so we are using it Charlotte Mason style - listen to the audio book and do a narration using the notebooking pages. Supplementing with Masterbooks timeline and mapwork. And of course, lots of living books! Are you using it with your boys?

No, my boys aren't really old enough for history yet (preschool and kindergarten--we are doing a Geography focus for kindergarten using Around the World in Picture Books by Beautiful Feet). My junior high sister currently uses this. I plan to use Sequence 1 for our history next year when my oldest is 1st grade.

Thanks for this video! We used a borrowed Volume IV last year with the companion guide on CD-ROM. It would have been helpful to see it all laid out on paper! What has your family used in the past for high school history?

We have used Sonlight for high school history for all of us--from myself down to the current 12th grader.

I really want my oldest daughter to start a formal world history curriculum like this next year in 9th grade. MOH is at the top of my list and this just may have sealed the deal because I really like what I saw in your flip through. I appreciate that at least vol 3 was only 28 weeks worth and I assume the other volumes are around that length as well? That seems very doable.

Still praying for you and baby boy, Rachel!!!

@SevenInAll 8 ай бұрын

Thank you! Prayers appreciated--especially for peace in my heart as we get closer and closer. We have Volume 4 as well, off the top of my head I can't remember for sure if it's scheduled for the same number of weeks but it seems reasonable that they would be.

Thank you so much!! I was able to flip through my SIL's copy several years ago, but at the time my kids were so young that I knew immediately that SOTW was a better fit for their ages. We love it and will definitely finish up the 4 year cycle with Vol. 4 next year. But I am just beginning to think about what we will do after that... ha! I will probably re-visit this curriculum when we get closer to that time (my oldest 2 will be in 6th and 4th then). That sounds like the minimum age that it would work for... When I looked through my SIL's copy I remember thinking it jumped around a ton... has that bothered your sister, or is it not a big deal since she's in junior high? Anything you've not liked about MoH? Also... any chance you've had a chance to look at Biblioplan? Any idea how it might compare to Mystery of History?

@SevenInAll 8 ай бұрын

Mystery of History is definitely written for an older audience than Story of the World. Jumping around doesn't bother my sister, history is her favorite subject and she enjoys this. One critique I have is that like many history curriculums, this skews heavily Western...but I know that you're already pretty adept at expanding beyond curriculum and adding on more books and resources. It reads a little bit journal-ish and the author does include some of her own feelings and opinions at times. I've looked into Biblioplan a little bit but never seen it or used it 'in real life' so I don't know it as well. In many ways it seems to have a similar set up, but I think Biblioplan has additional reading options more clearly laid out alongside the Biblioplan texts and activities.

I didn’t know it was a Christian curriculum as I’ve heard it’s secular!!! I love that church history is interwoven!!! I love that it’s short lessons!!! We looked at history of the world and my kids didn’t want to use it!!! I love the idea of cycling thru history!!! My kids know a week is a guide now but it took some teaching!!! My older daughter has just made math memory cards and idk if they have been looked at!!! We only buy extra books if there is an interest!!! We love the student notebooks with beautiful feet history of science that my twins are doing!!!

Yes, Mystery of History is very much written from a Christian perspective.
