Such a disappointment
Very poorly edited. Lots of spelling errors and questions are numbered incorrectly. Topics are barely covered. Frequently the entire days lesson consisted of two or three short paragraphs of reading, three T/F questions and two fill in the blank questions. I wasn't looking for an intense program but this was such basic information it was ridiculous. The chapters didn't flow together well or offer much transition between chapters of the same unit. The exact same questions are asked in a daily lesson, then again on the chapter review and again in the unit review and untit test. The unit reviews and tests are identical. The teachers answer key only shows answers for T/F and fill in the blank. Any Venn diagrams, short answer and essay questions say "student answers will vary". On a very rare occasion it might tell you that the answer should include information from a certain chapter, but not often. Do yourself a favor and find a different curriculum.

Nope
This was an awful purchase. Needs to be edited for not only content but grammar as well. The attempt to incorporate "character building" was faith based in some areas. Did not even really make a good work sample. We recycled it.
Have a question? Ask owners.
Start typing and see existing answers.
Why did you choose this?
Do you need any additional materials to complete this curriculum or is everything included?
This course is complete as you see it.
Seems like it will cover several diverse subjects
it looks like it will give me a good guideline of 7th grade topics as jumping off points
It looks like a complete guide through history.
Needed a secular curriculum that flows well and thought I'd try it.
