Does anyone use this book ? If so, how do you use it? I've had it for several years and have never been able to incorporate it into our day. I'd be using it for my 13yo son.

I welcome any ideas !!!

Thanks !!!

I used to use it when now 16 yos was in 7 and 8 grade becuase it was in the DYOCC book as a suggested title. He liked it -- but he's my one that's been in "real" school the most. It did help him learnt he continents and stuff.

I still have it on the shelf and just can't seem to part with it....

Mary,
Where in the book did you begin? I find it a little confusing. Did you just work your way through....or did you pick and choose different chapters?

If I remember rightly (that's Southern for "I think"

) we just followed Berquist's syllabus on this one (the ones that are available from Emmanuel Books. We worked out way through the chapter on Geography for Middle School -- it went pretty well and Joe (16) still remembers doing this. I also remember him using it in 8th and 9th to map the ancient world.

Hope this helps -- as each day goes by my memory seems to get fuzzier and fuzzier.
