Very impressed!
I've homeschooled my children for 14 years and used everything almost under the sun. Lots of lapbooking, notebooking, unit studies, copywork, traditional workbooks and textbooks. Lots of kids to try stuff out on over the years.

My plan was to use this as part of our Middle Ages studies this year for my 6th and 7th grade students.
When I received it and really started digging around in it, I was VERY IMPRESSED. It was much more in depth and had a great deal more quality printables than I thought it would have.
As a result, I have switched my plans and now I am using this as my spine for the year along with Dorothy Mills Middle Ages and then some nice living books along the way.
I am really excited!

You do have to print off scads of stuff, but it's totally worth the ink and paper. I used some color paper and also some cardstock for some of it.
The passports and postcards are my favorite thing so far. I made them ahead of time for my kids to use, fill in and color, but everything else my kids will complete from start to finish.

Really wish I had found this product series many years ago. It's really good.

I bought this as a supplement to our study of the Middle Ages I was VERY impressed It could work as a complete history study for the year as there is THAT much content/lesson This actually had more content than our History book on many of the topics The projects were very fun My 9 yr old enjoyed them Some weeks the Newspaper timeline and projects were a lot with our schedule However we just skipped them or came back to them later on The Audio tracks that came with them were our fav part They were very engaging The printing proved tricky on my machine until I figured our that I could click on the folder and go to the folder to select individual files to print This was easier than waiting for each page to load to print ONE sheet when I needed 10 sheets that day We loved it so much that I am buying "Great Empires" this year by the same company I hope they make more It really brought it all alive for us Our end of the Year lap book turned out AWESOME!

My daughter needs more hands on and engaging history lessons that a textbook just can't offer. We're excited about this option.
