BiblioPlan: Modern Consider the Years
What is not to love about the new editions of Consider the Years textbooks from BiblioPlan? These provide 34-chapters for your 34-week study of Modern history. The text is broken up with color photos, illustrations, maps, and works of art. Different highlighted texts introduce fun facts throughout the reading. This era covers historical happenings from 1850-2005. Students will read about American, World, and Church history and how they parallel each other. Covers from the Underground Railroad, the Balkan Wars, the Great Depression, to the fall of the USSR. Vocabulary and notable events are highlighted from the text. Each chapter tends to have a U.S. history section and a World history section to be read each week. Students will learn about Leopold’s efforts to exploit ivory in Africa, to coming into his fortune with rubber in the 1890’s; the fascinating fact included here is a brief history of natural rubber. As someone who loves fun facts, the highlighted text throughout is a treasure! There are Map Helps and an Index at the back of this text. 836 pgs, hc. ~Rebecca
Consider the Years, history text for high schoolers, covers Biblical and Church History side-by-side with World and U.S. History. It is also loaded with pictures and fascinating facts to break up the narrative. With hundreds of images, plus plenty of colorful breaks in the text, this is not the dry text your high schoolers have come to dread. It is thorough and thought-provoking, but also fun.
Year Four, Modern history, walks American and World History side-by-side once again. Pick up where Volume 3 left off, in about 1850, and end with the War in the Middle East (2001). Modern also follows the previous BiblioPlan format. There is one hardcover Remember the Days textbook for grades K-7, and two soft-cover Companion textbooks for grades 8-12. This 6-Unit (34 weeks) course of study sends students trekking through major wars of the 19th and 20th century and just peeks into the 21st century. Students also find themselves traveling with missionaries sharing the Word of God.
Wars shadow the 19th and 20th centuries as history reveals empires and countries at war with one another from the Crimean and Opium Wars, the Franco-Prussian War, to the wars that dragged the entire world into conflict. The world history side of Volume 4 weaves a tapestry of conflict happening worldwide. The U.S. side highlights significant movements: the Underground Railroad, Reconstruction, the Transcontinental Railroad, to the Gilded Age. The history concludes in 2001 with 9/11 and the wars in the Middle East. Within this tapestry of conflict, follow the threads of missionaries as they embark into a world that sometimes rejects their message of faith, hope, and love. Travel alongside missionaries like Lottie Moon, Eric Liddell, Brother Andrew, and many others, learning their stories and the impact their dedication had for Christ's Kingdom.
The Family Guide will take you step-by-step through text readings from either one of the textbooks. Further literature, audio, videos, maps, and activities are all found in individual spiral-bound books. Material found within each spiral-bound book may be reproduced for family needs. Select exactly what you want to cover with this program for each student (K-12) while studying Modern History together.

This is the textbook my son uses in school, and we wanted to have a copy at home.
