Remember the Days: Book Four - Modern Days
With options for each time period, these are full-color historical textbooks that provide textual information (world history, U.S. history, church history, and geography) in a narrative prose style interspersed with all sorts of intriguing factual and cultural anecdotes. They are color-coordinated so you know instantly if you're reading history text (black & white) or about people and special events or biblical quotes (various colored backgrounds). These are books which beg to be pored over. As an example, in random pages from the Medieval Companion, there is a section on Muslim food laws and their rituals for newborns, a description of a tughra (Ottoman sultans signature) with gorgeous, artistic examples and a Turkish paper decorating technique ebru. In the Giants of the Faith section is a biographical sketch of Saint George and the Dragon which continues onto the next page and includes a large, glorious artwork reproduction of the same.
There is a pattern to the information provided for each chapter (each time period book has 34 chapters - one for each week): Geography Focus, History Focus, Fascinating Facts, Mystifying Myths, Interesting Individuals, Fascinating Foods, Church History Focus, Critical Concepts, and Giants of the Faith.

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.

I liked the way it covered wide age range
We have been using this curriculum for years. I think I learn just as much (if not more) by reading it with my kids than they do.
Our co op is using this book this year.
