I did a deep dive into the GH Gov/Econ/PF reading list and came up with a tentative plan to turn it into 3.5 credits, similar to what you mentioned. Year 1 would be 1 credit of Honors US Government (Honors = doing all the 'extra' things at the end of each week) and 0.5 credits of "Digital Citizenship & Media Literacy" by combining the books Slanted, Shallows & Collective Illusions with the Common Sense Media Digital Literacy high school modules, plus the Crash Course Navigating Digital Information + Media Literacy videos, plus the high school lessons from a book called "Developing Digital Detectives". Year 2 would be 1 credit of Honors Economics and 1 credit of Personal Finance (all their recommendations + our own reading list of books like "Your Money Or Your Life" and "The Millionaire Next Door" and projects like "make a spreadsheet to estimate how old you'll be when you retire given these assumptions" and "plan your wedding with a budget of $XYZ"). These topics are all very close to my heart & it's a fun creative exercise to put these ideas all together into baskets for actual credits.

My tip for choosing curriculum without FOMO is to clarify my goals for my kid before I start trying to choose anything. Once I know what my goals are, I look for curriculum that matches well. This gives me a laser focus on what will be best for us, without getting sidetracked by all the things that might be good. For example, last year for biology, I wanted my daughter to practice working from a textbook and taking notes on her reading, and I wanted her to get practical experience with a microscope and writing lab reports. I chose a program that had all of that, which seemed easy for me to implement.

That’s a fantastic method for choosing curriculum!

Could you share the name of the diet or book on good fats please?

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer all the questions. Just one more- instead of splitting GH government, Econ and finance into two years could you split it up into 2 semesters? Government fall semester and Econ and finance Speing semester? Or would the reading be too much?

I think that would depend on your student and how much they enjoy reading. You’d definitely be doubling up on chapters each day if doing some of the suggested books. I thought the iCivics packets were great and she usually did 2 a week on one topic. You might consider only doing 1 per topic (if you use them at all)

The list of possible electives? Sure I can get that typed up and share it on the shop page
